Do You Remember When?

A FREE HEARING TEST Hello, Can You Hear Me Now?

'never-to-be-forgotten' group called The Statler Brothers will remain forever in the hearts of many who enjoyed such songs as Do You Remember These. They put daily life to music, touched on all the things that were happening, and how our people and our country were affected by the simple luxury of just being.

Beginning in 1955, as a Gospel Quartet called, The Four Star Quartet, they changed their name three times before becoming The Statler Brothers. (None of them are Statlers.

The band was actually named after a brand of facial tissue they saw in a hotel room.

They joked that they “...could have turned out to be the Kleenex Brothers”).

“Loved and respected by fans and peers alike, they have become the most awarded act in country music history-with 3 Grammys, 9 CMA Awards, 48 Music City News Awards, 32 song-writing awards, and 20 gold, platinum, double-platinum, and tripleplatinum albums among their more than 500 honors.”

WE WILL BEAT IT!

Each year, Happy Birthday USA, a free celebration founded by The Statler Brothers is held on the 4th of July in Virginia. The Statlers founded the event in 1970.

They continually participated in it for years, with attendance growing from 3,500 to over 100,000 visitors. Many famous guests show up for the celebration. The event is free and money is raised on concessions and goes to local charities.

We produced a video for my husband's memorial service using his pictures and his favorites, The Statler Brothers, as background music behind the scenes of his life.

A memorable event as many attendees did not know him but left feeling that they did.

Though The Statler Brothers retired from doing tours after forty years, they still work together and keep in tune to their style of life and happiness. Three of them still live in Staunton, Virginia... my home state.

Other things that were happening the year this famous quartet was founded:

What Is A Trust?

T

rusts are confusing, because they have so many names and purposes.

The word “trust” basically means to trust somebody to hold assets.

The most common use of the word in estate planning regards a revocable trust.

This may also be known as a living trust, a loving trust, a revocable living trust, or other variations. It is created while the grantor, or settlor, is alive. It is called revocable because the grantor can revoke or amend it. Usually, the grantor is the trustee at the beginning.

It will name one or more successor trustees.

It will name beneficiaries, just like a will does. If the trust is properly funded with the grantor’s assets, when the grantor dies, the trust will continue, operated by the successor trustee, and holding the same assets.

Then the successor trustee will distribute.

A revocable trust becomes irrevocable at the grantor’s death.

An irrevocable trust, on the other hand, cannot be revoked or amended after it is made. Generally, an irrevocable trust is created to make a lifetime gift to a beneficiary.

The Grantor no longer owns what is gifted in this manner. An irrevocable trust is usually used to remove assets from one’s estate for estate tax purposes, but may also be used for protection. There are other kinds of irrevocable trusts that are sometimes used in Medicaid planning.

Florida does not have a self-settled asset protection trust. Thus, if a person puts his

or her own assets into any type of trust, and retains use and/or control, the trust assets are not protected from the grantor’s creditors.

Some other states do have such trusts. If one makes a trust with spendthrift provisions for another person, it can offer asset protection for the third party beneficiary.

Elder Law …by Michael A. Pyle

One can make a trust inside a will. A trust that arises from a will is usually known as a testamentary trust, because it is created in a last will and testament. Probate of the will creates the trust. It is not a living trust, because it does not arise until the testator has died.

There are other types of trusts, and other names of the above trusts. Before creating a trust, one should consult an attorney to discuss the pros and cons, and to determine what type of trust is indicated in a particular situation.

ag likes to tell a funny story about his father’s praying chickens. It’s a riot. Well… not to be outdone, I have a chicken story as well. It’s a little different. This chicken disappears.

Chickens are popular story material.

Politicians like to tell about the rubber chicken dinners they attend; chickens are known among preachers as the gospel bird; and they are known to dare devils as the ultimate bird of cowardice. Chickens are not the highest bird on the evolutionary scale of feather bearers. In fact, chickens are dead last, but they don’t usually last, once dead.

They’re pretty tasty.

I’m reminded of the gentleman in a restaurant who asked the waiter, “How do you prepare you chicken?”

“Well,” said the waiter…“Nothing special. We just tell 'em, You’re gonna die.”

And die they do…

George’s mother would ring the neck of at least one chicken every Saturday afternoon. No! I’m not kidding. Store bought chicken parts were unheard of in those days. Folks grew, killed, and ate their own chickens and were proud of it. So did a lot of folks in neighborhoods all over. I once lived in one of those neighborhoods.

While George and I living in beautiful Puerto Rico, I witnessed one of the funniest scenes of my life. Because San Juan was almost bug free, our unscreened windows were always open to catch the balmy breeze. Homes are close together. From our bathroom window, we had a direct line of sight into the neighbor's kitchen. The neighbor had no window in her tiny kitchen, so her door was most always left open.

One day from my bathroom vantage point I observed the neighbor busily preparing a chicken for roasting. The bird bounced on the counter as the neighbor pounded in spices, salts, and ‘secret’ ingredients. Suddenly, the phone rang.

Wiping her hands on an apron, my neighbor left the kitchen to answer the phone. She also left the fresh, full-bodied and uncooked chicken unattended.

Bad move!

I knew something the neighbor did not know. The aroma of fresh chicken had attracted a big yellow tom cat. The cunning cat crouched by the door, but out of the neighbor's view. As soon as the cook exited, the cat raced into

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap

the kitchen, jumped on the counter, clenched the entire chicken with his teeth, bounded off the counter, out the door, raced across the backyard, and hurdled a four-foot stone wall like a champion! I was eyewitness to the Tom Cat Olympics and the cat deserved a gold medal.

The neighbor returned to her task, but the chicken had flown the coop.

She opened the refrigerator thinking maybe she had put the chicken in there.

Bewildered, she felt and patted every counter area for evidence that she was not losing touch with reality. Nothing!

Several times, the neighbor left the kitchen, then re-entered as if her bird would magically reappear.

Finally in a flourish of frustration, the neighbor planted her hands on her hips, glared at the space last spiced, screamed the Spanish equivalent of Something fowl happened. then fled the room, (likely to call a psychiatrist).

Somewhere a smiling cat was cleaning his claws of the last tasty tidbit of chicken.

Did I ever tell the neighbor what really happened? How a sneaky, smiling, chicken snatching cat dined on her dinner? …how funny her face looked as she grimaced, winced, and flinched fearing her mind was gone with the bird? …how I watched the whole scene and did nothing but laugh?

No. I didn’t tell her. Would you have!

I don't think she would appreciate the humor. Cackle, Cackle! ST George and Peggy Goldtrap are both actors, speakers, and writers and may be reached at georgegoldtrap@gmail.com

A Parallel Universe

I

believe there is proof that a parallel universe that reflects the one we live in exists. I also believe those two universes collide occasionally and that is where the proof lies.

For example, have you ever had someone who normally wouldn’t even speak to you do something nice and then, the next time you see them, they ignore you? What happens is simple, since parallel universes are reflective of each other or opposites then it makes sense that the person who was nice to you was from the other universe. What other explanation would there be if not a parallel universe merger?

I think that applies to teenagers as well.

Otherwise, why do they go from these sweet little kids into, well, whatever they turn into.

Somewhere in that parallel universe is that sweet kid.

I had an eyewitness encounter with the other universe. It happened back in 1965, when Eddie turned 11. We had been alternately cutting the grass when the incident occurred. The brand new water hose my dad had just bought was sliced by the lawn mower. I thought it best after our father found the hose to help Eddie confess to the slicing up of the hose. As usual, Eddie emphatically denied having anything to do with cutting the hose. I, on the other hand, described the incident in full detail, not leaving out one single thread of evidence, and added that Eddie had in fact run over the hose. Eddie then tried to explain to them that I was the real culprit.

One of you is lying, was the response we heard. Undoubtedly they must have had some issues with the way the story was unravelling.They sent both of us to the back porch steps while they decided what to do.

Winding Roads

Foot Pain? Home Bound?

NO PROBLEM!

…by Byron Spires

This was the first time they had not taken my side in any of my and Eddie’s many encounters over who had done something.

To add insult to injury, my parents strongly believed in corporal punishment. I sat there on the steps with Eddie and contemplated my demise.

How they did it I’m not sure, but for the record they saw through my shame of trying to blame Eddie. No physical punishment was dealt, however, I had to buy a new hose with my grass-cutting money. I needed, they said, to learn this lesson the hard way. Eddie got off completely and I had to finish cutting our yard. Something happened that day and now I am sure it was one of those parallel universe mergers.

I was never able again to shift the blame of anything to Eddie.

As far as I’m concerned, there is no other explanation than that of a parallel universe encounter. ST You can contact Byron Spires via email at windingroads@netzero.com

n Thursday, September 6th at 9 A.M., Holy Cross Lutheran Church will open its new Senior Outreach Center. Located on its campus in the West Wing building at 724 Big Tree Road in South Daytona, it's intended that the Center will serve the entire Daytona senior community.

The Center contains a large Social Hall, a Center Director's office, and four additional activity rooms. These activity rooms include a comfortably furnished lounge area with cable TV, a computer room housing five computer stations each with internet access, a library, and a recreation room equipped with card tables and a variety of board games available for guests to enjoy.

The activity rooms will be open for guests to use on a complimentary basis Thursdays from 9 A.M. to 12 P.M. The activity rooms will close at 12 P.M. for the weekly Senior Lunch Bunch which takes place in the Social Hall. The Senior Center will reopen following Lunch Bunch at 1:30 P.M. and remain open until 3 P.M. Use of the activity rooms is on a walk-in basis with no reservations required. A Senior Center Manager will be present to assist guests during its hours of operation.

Prior to opening the new Senior Center, Holy Cross has a history of serving the Daytona senior community. It has operated Senior Lunch Bunch in its Social Hall for more than 8 years. The event consists of lunch and non-monetary prize bingo for a $4 donation. For several years, Holy Cross has partnered with Seniors Today in sponsoring two fun-filled senior events each year; a Spring Fling and a Fall Festival. These events are totally free and offer lunch, entertainment, door prizes, and many give-aways from vendors who are pre-

Plans are underway for the Fall Festival Round Up to take place at the church on October 2, including a new lunch menu to go with the new western theme.

Holy Cross has also opened its facilities for other senior activities such as the Balance In Motion workshop. With a series of classes currently in progress, a new series of workshops will begin September 8. Previously, flu shots and health screening has taken place at the campus as well.

Future plans for activities in the Senior Center include computer classes, exercise to music classes, a book club, a card club, game tournaments, and arts and crafts classes.

“We want to return something to our community and believe that our new Senior Outreach Center provides this opportunity to show that we really care about our seniors.” states Pastor David Schillinger. “I’ve served as Pastor of Holy Cross for seventeen years, and see this as one of the most exciting ways we’ve been given to touch the lives of people with something good.” ST

Reservations for Lunch Bunch are required and can be made by calling 386-767-6542 by 9 A.M. the Tuesday of the week of attendance. The monthly lunch menu is printed in the Lunch Bunch ad elsewhere in Seniors Today.

Antiques Whiskey Bottles

by Larry Cox

Q: Since the 1970s I have been a collector, and especially interested in Jim Beam bottles. I need to sell my collection and appreciate any help you can give me.

—Peter, Albuquerque, NM A: Jim Beam bottles are difficult to sell, and they don't seem to be as popular with collectors as they were three or four decades ago. One of the better clubs is the Evergreen Jim Beam Club, 509 NE 165th, No. 154, Seattle, WA 98155; www.jimbeamclub.com For bottle questions, contact Tom at beamclub @aol.com *** Q: I have three ingots honoring the 1973 Triple-Crown winner, Secretariat.

They were struck in limited editions, and each has a certificate of authenticity.

I would like to know their real value.

—Efren, Kissimmee, FL A: I examined the Xerox copies you sent me and noted that the ingots were issued by Silver Creations, Ltd., of Emerson, New Jersey. That is where you should begin. This might be diffi-

cult, since I was not able to track down an address or even verification that the company still exists. Your next option is to show them to an established coin dealer in your area. You may be disappointed in what you discover. *** Q: I have hundreds of sports cards and thousands of comic books that originally belonged to my late husband. I want to know what they are all worth.

—Rhonda, Albuquerque, NM A: For comics, I recommend the Comic Book Checklist & Price Guide, which features more than 125,000 comics with current values. It is $19.95 and available through the publisher, www.

Krause.com For sports cards, there are also excellent references, including The Standard Catalogue of Football Cards (KP Books, 24.99), and The Standard Catalogue of Baseball Cards edited by Don Fluckinger (Krause, $39.99).

Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique

D

r. Devi S. Nambudripad’s extensive training in varying disciplines of medicine including western medicine, kinesiology and acupuncture have resulted in the development of Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET). Since November of 1983, this all natural combination of alternative disciplines has resulted in the perfect health model NAET for eliminating allergens within the body.

The following are a sampling of the medical fields which have aided in the discovery and development of NAET. This non-invasive assessment and treatment plan has helped thousands of patients combat allergies and allergy related health disorders.

• Western Medicine–Education of the nervous system and brain leads practitioners to a better understanding of the cellular communication network of the human body.

• Kinesiology–Body movements that can detect allergens within the human body through testing the strength and weakness of muscles.

• Acupuncture–Any allergy that produces muscle weakness can also cause imbalance within the body which can result in disease. Acupuncture releases energy that is blocked in energy pathways, called meridians, thus return-

ing the body back to homeostasis. This cures disorders/disease.

The premise of NAET is that many disorders such as migraines, back ache, joint pain, PMS, indigestion, are caused by allergies within the body. NAET is a drug

Acupuncture & Skin Care …by Dr. Lorenzo Phan DOM, A.P.

free medical structure that believes in looking for the cause as opposed to treating the symptom. Allergies left undiagnosed are often the cause for serious debilitating illnesses. Through the desensitizing of one allergen at a time NAET practitioners can cure the patient of allergens causing disorders/diseases. The amount of allergens found within the patients body after assessment will determine the length of treatment.

Types of allergens tested for include chemical sensitivity, environmental, vaccinations, and immunizations. NAET method can clear allergic reactions to a host of possible allergens including yet not limited to: perfume, flowers, cigarette smoke, shellfish, eggs, peanuts, milk, and penicillin.

Ageism: Swimming Upstream In An Ageist Society Having lived through the 60s and 70s, we are all aware of the dynamics of racism and sexism, and how that has affected attitudes and stereotypes towards individuals on the basis of their race and gender. Unfortunately, we are less aware of those same dynamics in ageism and how it is affecting people because of their age. What effect does ageism have on our own attitudes towards aging? How do we become more conscious of these dynamics and how have they permeated every aspect of our society? How does it affect both our physical and our mental and cognitive health? How do we separate the myths from the realities of aging?

Alzheimer's—Dementia And Communication We all need to communicate with other people.

Communicating our needs, wishes, and feelings is vital—not only to improve our quality of life, but also to preserve our sense of identity. We tend to think of communication as talking, but in fact it consists of much more than that. Alzheimer's gradually erodes communication skills. Know what to expect —and what you can do to promote effective communication.

Section B August 31, 2012 Tails From The Front

by Tyler Stover he time of year has arrived when daily thunderstorms become a part of life in Central Florida. While most of us have no trouble adjusting, our canine companions may not be so brave. Thunder and lightning invoke fear and panic in many dogs, and can even lead them to destroy household items or attempt to escape. Following tips from the experts can help your dog get through the storms.

Human companionship is usually the easiest and most effective way to calm a dog that is frightened by a storm. Dogs will often snuggle up to their owners, looking for comfort and security. Remain calm and

quiet around your dog to avoid startling them further. You may also want to designate a safe place where your dog can hide during the storm. This could be a crate, or your dog may choose its own spot under a table or other household item. It is important that the dog can enter and leave its safe area freely, and it should never be punished for entering this area.

Providing dogs with distractions from the storm can also be a successful way of calming them down. Turn on the television or calming music to help drown out the noise from the thunder. If your dog is also scared of lightning, try closing the drapes.

You can also use toys or treats to divert your

dog’s attention away from the storm. Offer a favorite toy or a high-value treat; something that will definitely get their attention.

If none of these methods seem to work, or if your dog’s fear becomes extreme, you may want to consult with your veterinarian.

There are often other treatment options that they can provide to help soothe your pet during storms.

Inaugural Adoption Event A Success Our recent Plan Alive Mega Adoption Event was successful in adopting over 50 pets. The event, which was held at the Volusia County Fairgrounds, featured animals from Halifax Humane Society, Flagler Humane Society, Southeast Volusia Humane

Society, and cats taken by the ASPCA in the Caboodle Ranch case. Over 500 people attended the inaugural event, and its success is expected to lead to future adoption events going forward.

Several of the remaining Caboodle Ranch cats were taken in by Halifax Humane Society following the event. These cats have contracted either the Feline Immuno-deficiency Virus (FIV) or Feline Leukemia.

While the cats require special care, they make great pets. ST Tyler Stover is the Community Outreach Director for the Halifax Humane Society. contact him at 386-274-4703, ext. 320, or at tstover@halifaxhumanesociety.org

by Mitch Booth t is almost fall and the kids/grand kids are heading off to school, young adults are going off to college, and we are getting ready for a new football season. What all these activities have in common is poor nutrition, especially with the most important food boost of the day: breakfast. One simple way to get a productive start is to get a blender and simply drink your morning meal.

National Factors has created a remarkable new protein powder called Whey Factors. It is the successor to the original Learning Factors. Developed by Dr. Michael Lyons, M.D. (former head of pediatric neurology at McGill University), Learning Factors was an enormous leap forward in fighting ADD/ADHD one meal at a time without drug intervention.

Targeted to children, I have used this protein powder successfully for years in helping children thrive in the school environment and helped adults in the work environment.

The new formulation is called Kids Factors offered in two protein sources: a vegetable bean pod source for children highly allergic to milk and whey protein derived from cows milk.

For adults, whey protein is the gold standard for having the highest biological value: the measurement of how well a protein retains nitrogen and how usable it is to the body. Simply put, a high nitrogen absorption enhances muscle gain.

Compared to other proteins, whey contains the highest concentration of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) which serve as a acritical fuel source for skeletal muscles.

During periods of metabolic stress (school, work, and exercise), BCAAs help maintain or increase muscle mass and prevent fat storage. It also stabilizes blood sugar, which is why it is so effective with hyperactive children or adults who can’t focus. Read Dr. Lyon’s book Is Your Brain Starving? which we now have in our book department.

A great read for parents.

Now Natural Factors has developed Whey Factors. It is a protein powder that supplies whey’s muscle enhancing BCAAs: L-leucine, L-isoleusine, and L-valine along with many other building block amino acids.

Their proprietary formulation retains the natural goodness of whey using only milk from Canadian cows. Canada, unlike the U.S., does not allow the genetically modified hormones rBGH and BSE to be injected into their cattle.

This also supports Love Whole Foods whole milk standard: No GMO/hormones.

These contaminants are dangerous and are not good for us, especially our children.

So why whey? The most researched aspect of whey protein is its benefit to our immune system. High in the amino acid cysteine, Whey Factors raises the critical antioxidant called glutathione which is essential for proper immune system function. Glutathione stimulates antibody production as wel1 as triggering enzyme actions which vanquish foreign invaders.

You should all be thinking about the flu season. Indeed the vaccine drums are beat-

ing already. You don’t need to fret about the West Nile virus or any other flu virus if your glutathione reserves are maximized and the best way to do that is a whey concentrated shake once or more a day.

Now it gets even better. Pure whey protein has subfractions, like lactoferrin and glycomacropeptides, which act as a PREbiotic. These in turn enhance intestinal health. These prebiotics promote beneficial bacterial bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, just to name a few.

These bacteria are essential in the production of B vitamins. They inhibit intestinal enzymes that are unhealthy to the body (ie Crohns disease) and displace unhealthy fungus growth (ie candida) as well as bad bacteria.

Remember, 8o percent of your immune system is in the gut. Make way for whey and think twice before taking anti-biotics.

The science makes it even better. A 2010 human clinical study published in JAMA showed the results of a major European trial called the Diet, Obesity, and Genes Project (google DIOGENES project) which confirms what earlier articles on diabetes have stated.

Eating higher quality proteins with low to no saturated fat along with low-glycemic index foods resulted in the following: balanced blood sugar (no spikes), increased satiety (no need for dessert) and decreased daily caloric intake which kept the weight off.

Folks, if you are struggling with waist management or are dreading the coming football season (which do you fear more: becoming a potato or the couch?) or you are a boomer flirting with metformin then read on. If you are a college student and you haven’t lost the freshman year bulge or you are a senior trying to get muscle back after joining the Zipper Club then there is a simple lifestyle change you can employ and it even tastes great.

Just mix a scoop of Whey Factors with six ounces of water, almond, rice, or low fat organic milk. You pick the flavor. Then add the life changing benefits of Omega 3 essential fatty acids (discussed in my last article). Barleans organic flax oil is the best.

Throw in some ice cubes and flip the switch on your blender. You now have a brain busting/heart boosting power drink.

With our partnership with Natural Factors, Love Wholefoods is now offering all of the Whey Factors protein. Powders at an everyday low price of $17.99—ongoing (Reg. $22.95)! Come on in to either store and get the science reports and recipes.

While you are there, talk to one of our trained team members to see how you can customize your shake for each family member.

Remember we have a cafe/juice bar at each location. Just ask to have one blended up for and you will certainly know which whey to go!

Books Marilyn Monroe Reviewed by Larry Cox

I

t was 50 years ago this summer that Marilyn Monroe was found dead in her Los Angeles home. She didn't just leave an indelible mark on our pop culture, she continues to do so.

Although there have been countless books written about the incandescent movie star, legendary sex symbol, and cultural icon, a new book by Christopher Nickens and George Zeno celebrates her life through the clothes that she wore.

Marilyn In Fashion: The Enduring Influence Of Marilyn Monroe is divided into two main sections: Part One: The Designers examines such heavy hitters as Oleg Cassini, Dorothy Jeakins, and Emilio Pucci, who created her ensembles, and documents where she wore them and how they impacted fashion trends. Part Two: A Fashionable Miscellany explores everything from Marilyn's hats and outwear to her makeup and hairstyles.

Monroe's transformation from wholesome Norma Jean to sultry screen siren is —of course—the stuff of legends.

With hundreds of rare photos, and insights from the designers, co-stars and Monroe herself, Marilyn In Fashion offers a behind-the-screens glimpse at one of the most extraordinary people of the 20th century.

For More Information, Please Call

Nickens has written best-selling biographies of Bette Davis, Marlon Brando, and Elizabeth Taylor. Zeno, an illustrator, has amassed one of the world's largest privately owned collections of Marilyn Monroe images and memorabilia. Together, they present the star in a fresh, new context.

Monroe had little formal education, and despite the public confusing her with the dumb blondes she portrayed on screen, she proved that she was much more. Monroe was intelligent, ambitious, shrewd, and innately talented. She developed a standard of beauty that continues to resonate even 50 years after her untimely death. Marilyn In Fashion is a fitting tribute to the style evolution of one of Hollywood's ultimate icons. ST Books reviewed in this column are available at your local bookstore.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A bit of hardheaded realism could be just what the Twins need at this emotionally challenged time. Face the facts as they are, not as you want them to be.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Many opportunities open up. You need to be aware of their actual pros and cons.

Check them out and make your choice from those that offer more.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A more stable situation begins, allowing you to feel more secure about making important decisions. Be sure to meet your project deadline so you can move on.

VIRGO (August 23 to Sept. 22) Congratulations. A new personal relationship thrives as you learn how to make room in your busy life for this warm and exciting emotional experience.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) A new contact opens some doors. That's the good news. There's a caution involved: Be sure you protect your rights to your work before showing it to anyone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A former colleague might seek to resume a working partnership. Ask yourself if you need it. If yes, get more information.

If no, respectfully decline the request.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) Good times dominate your aspect. So why not have a party to celebrate a loved one's success? Do invite that special person you want to know better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The shy side of the Sea Goat soon gives way to your more assertive self. This should help you when it comes time to speak up for yourself and your achievements.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A new period of stability will help you deal with some recently reworked plans.

Once you get your current task done, you can devote time to personal matters.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Things are finally much more stable these days, so you can restart the process of meeting your well-planned goals with fewer chances of interruption or delay. ST

Acupuncture: All Natural Health Care

W

hen we were children, we didn't think too much about health care. When we fell and skinned our knees, we went straight home to Mom instead of to the hospital. Our Moms gave us some sympathy and TLC, maybe a band aid or some ice cream.

Soon we had forgotten all about our injuries. Within a week or so, without us even noticing, our bodies healed themselves—naturally.

Our bodies were designed to use nutritious wholesome foods, clean air, and pure water as the basic resources for healing from the inside out. Unfortunately, we live in a society where it’s all too common to eat donuts for breakfast, hot dogs for lunch, and pizza for dinner. It’s rare to have fresh fruits and vegetables at the table anymore.

As we get older, our bodies begin to have difficulties in healing and maintaining optimal health. Many of our bodies are breaking down with complex degenerative diseases and auto-immune disorders. Most of these

Do You Know the

Senior Service Line Don’t Trash This Mail

o you read your Explanation of Benefits forms when they come in the mail? They may contain information that you need to know.

The Explanation of Benefits gives the latest update on your Medicare payment status. Whenever a claim for services is filed, the information is sent to you. That's your opportunity to verify whether the information is correct, especially the dollar amounts.

Here are the things you need to note: Total Charges: These are the amounts the doctor (or hospital, if you were a patient) wants to charge.

An Approved Amount (which also could be called Medicare Approved or Allowed Amount): This is the dollar amount that Medicare allows your doctor to charge.

Patient Responsibility: This is your portion of the bill that Medicare allows, based on your policy's percentage.

If the math is correct, so far so good, but there are other places errors could be evident.

Spelling of your name and patient ID number: Someone with the same name (but a different ID number) could end up on your account.

Dates of service and the name of the doctors: Did you go to that doctor on that date? Did you have the test or procedure that's listed?

Prescriptions: Did you fill a prescription on that date? Look at the cost.

If someone else's drugs are listed on your account, it might send you to the doughnut hole too quickly. The doughnut hole is that gap in coverage where none of your drug costs are picked up until a certain large out-of-pocket amount is paid.

Keep your Explanation of Benefits to compare from one month to the next. If anything looks wrong, call Medicare at 1-800-633-4227 to report it. ST Matilda Charles regrets that she cannot personally answer reader questions.

Revisiting Neck Pain

F

or those living with chronic pain, neck pain is the third most common cause, according to a survey conducted by the National Institute of Health Statistics.

Physicians and researchers have been conducting studies to test the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating chronic neck pain.

The results have been compelling; A 2001 study proved that acupuncture was effective in relieving neck pain and improving range of motion. In a 2004 study, the effectiveness of acupuncture in treating chronic neck pain was evaluated in 153 patients.

Nearly 70 percent of those patients had a successful outcome from acupuncture, reporting an improvement in pain of at least 50 percent.

Most physicians will agree that an effective neck treatment which promises lasting results must be focused on addressing the root cause of the problem. Otherwise, the approach will just be a band-aid remedy that may not last.

In practice, most chronic neck pain conditions have underlying mechanical and structural issues. For example, a persistent neck pain can be traced to an arthritic pathology that limits range of motion causing muscle guarding. In practical terms, this translates into muscle tightness causing nerve irritation and consequent chronic pain. This may continue as a cycle where the pain prevents

the patient from being active and therefore allowing the muscles to remain stiff and tight!

Acupuncture & Physical Therapy Ryoko Elzey, D.O.M. Acupuncture Physician To break the cycle of pain, we need to consider options that guarantee lasting results while minimizing the use of drugs that may be harmful when used long term.

Acupuncture and physical therapy, offer a combination approach that addresses both the root cause of the problem and associated symptoms. A typical modality of treatment combines manual therapy which improves joint mobility and maintains spinal stability and acupuncture for pain relief. Pain has a very strong subjective component that is very much affected by stress and anxiety.

With the use of acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and natural supplements, we are able to relax the mind and the body.

There is a very bright and promising future for chronic pain sufferers who are willing to give complementary forms of treatment a chance to work. You don’t have to live with pain. It can be dealt with. ST For more information, please feel free to call 386-898-0908.

Chicken Soup For The S oul I’ve Got Her

A

ngel was missing. Our 6year-old cats, Rusty and Angel, were mostly indoor cats. My husband Dave and I would treat them every day to some sunshine and fresh air in our backyard.

We took them out only under our supervision. If they happened to get out on their own, we would both look and find them quickly.

Since Dave's unexpected death two months ago, I had become the kitties' only human chaperone. Most days Rusty and Angel were very cooperative, but on this morning Angel bounded out of the yard. When I turned around, she was gone. I walked around our neighborhood calling her, but did not get an answer.

Then I remembered to take a breath to center myself. I heard Dave clearly say, "I've got her." In my mind's eye, I saw him holding Angel in his arms protectively and warmly, her tail swishing.

“Where is she?” I asked.

“Turn left,” he said, “then go straight.”

I put Rusty in the house and got the container of Angel's favorite treats to entice her. I left the gate open in case she came back on her own. As I approached the area that Dave indicated, I heard Angel's

faint meow. I called to her: “Angel, I can hear you but I can't see you.” Dave told me to look left as I walked toward the meowing. There she was in the neighbor's yard, a bit excited but not hurt. I spoke softly to her as I easily picked her up and carried her home, tail swishing. I sent a grateful thank you to Dave for keeping her safe.

I always thought that when someone died, they merged back into Spirit and God and were gone from us. I thought that though the love always remained, something important ended, and with rare exceptions, that was the end of our communication. What I didn't expect was to have an ongoing relationship with Dave since he passed.

Dave has come to my dreams, spoken to me many times, offered guidance for decisions and given wisdom and comfort in the midst of my deep grief. Our relationship continues, but the dynamic has changed. He is my spiritual guide now, and I treasure his company and love. He helps me in my healing work as a therapist, life coach, and energy healer.

Sometimes in the midst of my darkest moments of grief and transition, I hear him say to me, “I've got you.” ST Visit www.chickensoup.com

Lind—The Swedish Nightingale— was a sensation. Her tour is believed to have netted Barnum close to a half-million dollars, an astonishing sum in 1850.

On Aug. 27, 1883, the most powerful volcanic eruption in recorded history occurs on Krakatau, a small island located in Indonesia. Heard 3,000 miles away, the explosions threw 5 cubic miles of earth 50 miles into the air and created 120-foot tsunamis.

On Aug. 29, 1942, the Red Cross reveals that Japan has refused free passage of ships carrying food, medicine, and other necessities for American

On Aug. 31, 1959, Brooklyn Dodgers left-hander Sandy Koufax strikes out 18 batters, setting a new National League record for most strikeouts in a single game. Koufax retired after the 1966 season at just 30 years old because of arthritis in his elbow. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1972.

Here’s An Idea

by JoAnn Derson

“When painting, write the name and brand of paint under the room's light switch. If you ever need to go out and buy more for touch ups, you will know where to start.”

—R.K. in Montana To travel with pleated skirts, use this packing trick: Turn the skirt inside out and straighten all the pleats. Then tape the bottom so that all the pleats are held together. Next, feed the skirt into a leg of pantyhose with the foot cut off.

You'll end up with a nice tube, which you can tuck into the sides of your luggage for easy travel.

“When traveling for more than a few days, put your plants in the bathtub with a little bit of water. They'll soak it up, and you won't have to have someone come over and water your plants.

This trick will only work for a week or less, though.”

—J.M. in Louisian “I keep grocery lists on my computer. When I am going shopping, I print out the list and fold the paper in half. Then I slip my coupons into the fold. This keeps them handy when I'm shopping.” ST —A Reader in Maryland
