For The Love of His Children…
I
t was over a dozen years ago when I walked up to a quiet lady sitting at the grand piano, awaiting the cue to begin playing. I introduced myself and had a short conversation with her. She was very pleasant. Through the years I came to know her well—as a person of many talents and unlimited amounts of energy. When the school system hierarchy began talking of cutting back on the arts in school, she, Leigh Slayback, founded CAFA, (Children’s Academy of Fine Arts). There have been so many talented people that Leigh knew or has come to know who join her in working with the children from pre-K through high school. Their enthusiasm knows no bounds. One of the most notable events for the children was the year Leigh took the entire Academy, costumed in identical red shirts, to sing at Disney. They were a big hit! In February of 2010 channel 6 news featured Children's Academy of Fine Arts, Inc. in their Making a Difference segment. CAFA was featured because of their special contribution to young people. The Academy (CAFA) has well over 100 participating in learning piano, violin, guitar, harp, singing, and drama. Many shy youngsters have walked away with the ability to smile and carry on conversation as never before. Teachers have noted differences in students after they joined CAFA. In a special project of this kind, it’s a wonderful experience for retirees who get involved. CAFA costumes are made by a creative retired seamstress, retired men and women are approved bus drivers for the children, others gather to build the backdrops and the beautiful scenery is being prepared and painted by a talented Disney artist retiree.
For years Leigh has worked toward producing two or three shows each season. This year, Titanic is planned for May 24-26 and a matinee on May 27. at Covenant UMC. What an undertaking! Would you believe, a musical about the Titanic on the 100th Anniversary of it’s having sunk?
You Name It …by Kitty Maiden
CAFA camp is held each year. This year, July 16 thru 28 the performing art department is teaching Sleeping Beauty for grades K thru 5 and State Fair for grades 6 thru 12. Information is available on their website cafakids.org ST

Scams, Shams And Flimflams
W
e learned as children that if it seem too good to be true, it probably is. We also have heard that nothing is free. There’s always a catch. There’s always something expected by the party giving something free, even if it’s only a hope for future or additional business. The risks of attack to your credit and your financial stability, as well as outright theft of your money and property, have increased exponentially in recent years. It’s almost detrimental to give examples of scams, shams, and flimflams because one can become complacent when a somewhat different scam is presented. The types and variations of scams are ever-changing. You need to watch for tell-tale signs, as opposed to specific fact patterns. It is likely that there are organized scammers all over the world, whose sole purpose is taking your money and property. Whereas we used to receive letters by snail mail from Nigeria and other countries, now we are accosted by email, text messages, and other Internettransmitted means, including viruses. You many be contacted by impostors posing as banks, lenders, buyers and sellers of real estate, credit card companies, credit agencies, brokers, attorneys, lotteries, and many, many others. As we
age, we must be aware of additional dangers, including dishonest care-takers and the oddly attractive desire to gamble, with lotteries, sweepstakes, and similar voluntary acts.
Elder Law …by Michael A. Pyle
I see people every day who have been taken for their money or have spent their money. Often they have lost their entire life savings. Many times they know and realize that it is too good to be true, but they fall for it anyway. Many get taken more than once, because once a scammer realizes the person is easy prey, they keep returning for more. It often seems surprising, but I can assure you that it happens all the time. I will be speaking on this topic at the Daytona Beach City Island branch of Volusia County Libraries on Wednesday, May 23 at 1 P.M. The public is welcome to attend. Attorney Michael A. Pyle, of Pyle & Dellinger, PL, 1655 N. Clyde Morris Blvd., Suite 1, Daytona Beach, Florida, 32117, 386-615-9007. E-mail: mikep@ pylelaw.com or www.pylelaw.com

OW! What a birthday. April 27th was my 75th and you’d think I’d want the date to slip by unnoticed… but I’ve never been afraid of birthdays. I figured out a long time ago that no one escapes this life alive so I might as well face that fact and enjoy the days I have. Peg and I have a long tradition of making birthday’s a big deal. We relish surprise and presenting something totally unexpected. Over the years we’ve been pretty successful but I confess it is getting more difficult. We’ve been there, done that, and sometimes wonder... what’s left! Well wouldn’t you know it? Just when I thought Peg had run out of ideas… I was wrong. (Married men, it seems, are wrong a lot). She not only had a great idea, she made it 100 percent surprise. A few close friends knew what was to happen but ‘mums the word’ was definitely observed and I was totally surprised. My day arrived. The morning was pretty normal but Peg did cook a big, southern-style breakfast. That tweaked my interest; usually we munch on cereal and fruit. About 11:30 she said we needed to roll out. Grab your camera was all she said. We headed south on US 1, toward New Smyrna Beach. I was suspicious of the destination but was not surprised when she said, “How about lunch?” “Fine with me” I said, I’m always up for that. Peg knows my most favored eateries in New Smyrna Beach. NSB appeared on the horizon. I could taste the fish. My daydream faded as we suddenly slowed and turned right… into the local airfield. Now what, I wondered. I knew of nothing special going on here. Peg mumbled something about an old car show, but that was news to me. I have always wanted to fly with the Blue Angels but they were not in town. The big WWII bomber that had recently roared over NSB was gone. No matter, I couldn’t afford a $400 flight anyway. Why had she turned in the airport? What’s up with this stop? I had no clue. On display was a group of antique Fords. Peg knows how much I enjoy old cars, so maybe this was a fun stop before lunch. One was a 1937… my birth year. What a cool surprise I thought as Peg made my picture with the car. Ha! The real surprise was yet tucked away and would be revealed in a few minutes. I looked at the cars and explained their primitive, yet unique features, to Peg. Then we walked toward the hangar door in full view of the airfield. I figured we might watch a few local flights for a few moments.
I noticed a table with folks selling tickets. To what I wondered? Then Peg opened her pocketbook. That will catch the attention of any married man. ‘I thought you might like to take a flight in this special airplane’
Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap she said—and that’s when my eye spied it. There on the taxi-way… moving toward the hangar was a beautiful ‘tin goose’—an 83 year old Ford Tri-Motor. I had seen one in a museum but never a real live goose! WOW! It roared closer and finally turned on the tarmac where we were watching. What an awkward looking piece of machinery… (corrugated aluminum body and a huge wing width), and it would really fly… and pretty well I might add. Peg completed the ticket deal and I awaited my turn to board. Group 6 please—and away we go. The plane taxied to its position. The experienced pilot synchronized the engines, like a piano tuner, listening for the perfect harmony saying it’s safe to soar. Lift-off was the greatest of ease—loud but very smooth. Those wide wings provide lots of lift. Nine passengers and a pilot, (that’s a load in the tri-motor), were mesmerized … glued to the open view of the primitive cockpit and/or out the windows to a beautiful coastline 1,000 feet below. Click, click —you could hear the cameras talking. North a few miles, over picturesque Ponce Inlet Lighthouse and finally a square turn west, another south, and final toward the east. Easing back on the three throttles, the captain made the goose’s 36 cylinders purr gently and the ride glided toward the runway. Bump, bump, and we were down… and in seconds the ‘tail dragger’ lowered her tail feathers. This bird may be eight years older than me, but for the most part, she has lived right … well almost. She did once get windtossed, (on the ground), during a severe storm, and was broken into three pieces …but all the kings men at EAA, Experimental Aircraft Association, put her back together again and now… 83 and taking this 75 year old kid for a ride. Sweet. Wow… what a birthday! Wow… what a wife! I want to go again… next time with the Blue Angels. ST George and Peggy Goldtrap are both actors, speakers, and writers living in Ormond By The Sea.

What Is Clinical Research?
D
o you know what clinical research is? I’ve been randomly asking people what they think of when I say clinical research. I was relieved to know that many people gave the same blank stare as I did when I first heard about it. Is it education about clinics? Is it a place where people learn about medical stuff? In the United States, all medicines are regulated by the Food & Drug Administration (FDA). All, yes, all prescription medications MUST go through several different phases of clinical trials before your doctor can prescribe the medication to you. Typically, thousands of people test a medication during the clinical trial process. Many scientists have spent years developing a medication in hopes that it will treat a condition more effectively than what’s currently available on the market. That’s great news for me and you! Right now, many scientists of pharmaceutical companies are testing investigational medication for mature conditions like constipation, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. There is also an effort to develop mediations for conditions that don’t have many treatment options or a cure such as schizophrenia, hepatitis, and shingles. Many people are suffering with a condition for which the current available treatments are not helping them or they can’t endure the side effects. This is one reason that many people turn to the option of Avail Clinical trials of investigational medication.
Avail Clinical trials are also beneficial to patients that don’t have health insurance. It allows the patient to see a doctor and receive study medication for a condition they are suffering from at no cost to them. In addition, many people choose to come to Avail Clinical because they actually receive compensation to participate!
by Kimberly Mantuano People who are willing to help the pharmaceutical company test a potential new medication receive some type of compensation along with the study medication at no cost. It is a win/win for the patient and the research team. At any given time, there are numerous medications for all different types of conditions being tested at Avail Clinical. There are many more details and much more information that can be shared with you about our clinical research studies. If you have questions, would like more details, or think you may be interested in participating in a clinical trial, be sure to contact Avail Clinical Research. We may currently have a study that is just right for you. Please call Kimberly Mantuano at Avail Clinical at 386-868-5469 or e-mail to: kmantuano@Availclinical.com

Acupuncture For Lower Back Pain
A
ccording to the Mayo Clinic, most people will experience back pain at least once in their lifetime. The intensity of lower back pain is in accordance to the intensity of the injury. Pain lasting for days or weeks is considered acute. Pain lasting for months is considered chronic. Lower back pain is usually triggered by a combination of overuse, muscle strain, or injury to the muscles, ligaments, and discs that support the spine. This leads to tension on muscles, bones, discs, and ligaments making the low back prone to injury. Symptoms of lower back pain include stabbing or shooting pain, muscle ache, pain radiating down the leg, poor posture, inflexibility, and limited range of motion. Common causes of lower back pain may include improper or heavy lifting, injury or overuse, sudden or awkward movements, structural problems such as sciatica, arthritis, ruptured discs, or skeletal irregularities. Acupuncture treatments provide a safe, natural way to alleviate lower back pain. The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) sees the human body as an integrated being. It works with vital energies inherent within all living things to promote the body’s ability to heal itself. Qi (pronounced “chee”) is a vital energy that flows through meridians, pathways that run throughout the entire body. Qi protects the body from illness and provides nourishment to cells, tissues, muscles, and organs.
During acupuncture treatments, fine, sterile needles are inserted at specific acupoints along these meridians to release Qi, unblock obstructions and correct imbalance.
Acupuncture & Skin Care …by Dr. Lorenzo Phan OMD, A.P. The benefits of acupuncture for back pain include clearing compression/pinched nerves, increasing blood circulation, relaxing stiffened muscles, reducing inflammation, promoting tissues healing, improving range of movement and flexibility, and deactivating cycle of pain by increasing amounts of natural pain relievers in the brain (serotonin, nor epinephrine, and dopamine). During an acupuncture treatment, specific acupuncture points are stimulated to balance bioelectric energy circulation and promote the body’s own natural healing abilities. A balance of energy in the body yields mind-body relaxation and optimized physiological functions of the body. The whole procedures last about 20 minutes, during which time patients are very relaxed and comfortable. Lorenzo Phan of the Acupuncture & Skin Care Clinic located at 725 W. Granada Blvd., Suite 15 in Ormond Beach, FL 32174. For a free consultation, call 386-615-1203 or visit www.acubeautytherapy.com

Chicken Soup For The S oul A Daughter’s Bond With Stepmom
M
any things in our lives go unexplained. Some things we wish we could find reasons for, mainly the times in our lives when we feel desperation and sorrow. Some of us spend years trying to find answers that are unattainable. When I was but a few months old, my mother took me to a social gathering at the home of a relative. The gathering brought together women of all ages and relations to the hostess—some sisters, some aunts, some friends. As a saleswoman presented her plastic wares, passing bowls with airtight lids, my mother passed me to open arms that would rather examine the cooing bundle before them than the latest trend in food storage. The years passed after that simple gathering of women, and my young life changed so much. At the age of 31⁄2, it was missing a very major component: a mother. The woman who once cuddled me and smiled at me found herself in need of answers, leaving me in search of them. Did she feel desperation and sorrow? Was something missing in her life that she needed to find? She left my father in need of his own answers. How would he raise a child all by himself? How would he make a happy and complete life for us? Our resolution came in the form of a woman. She entered into our lives when we needed her most and was more than willing to step into the roles of wife and mother. She cared for us both with compassion and love, giving us what we were missing, and more. She guided me as a child, bandaging my wounds, cooling my warm head. When I was a young adult, she helped me through the awkwardness and guided me on the right paths. I owe so much of who I am to her. She has taught me firsthand how important it is to love unconditionally and how a family is not necessarily made by blood. A family consists of the

people who care for you without hesitation or limitation. As an adult, many times I wanted to ask my mother why she left, if she found what she was looking for. How could the answers really help me? I felt they wouldn't. My life was forever changed when she left, but because of one amazing woman, it became the best life for me. Not too long ago, my family was reminiscing about old memories and talking about how my father and stepmother met. I was also told that she, the woman who raised me and has loved me for most of my life, the one I call Mom, was at that same social gathering of women when I was but a few months old. She came expecting to purchase a new bowl or kitchen gadget

· · · and in addition, got the chance to hold the party's tiniest guest. She held me in her arms that day, the future unknown to her as well, in a moment of unsung serendipity. A connection was made between us, I am sure of that, and that force is what brought her to us some three years later. That connection has kept our family strong for more than 25 years. As I look forward to the future, with her as a grandmother to my children, I feel warmth and happiness that they will also know her generosity. We are a true family, through all of life's turns, bends and loop-de-loops. I know that if a time ever comes when we find ourselves in need of answers, we'll find them together. ST

Stop Pain Now With Acupuncture and Physical Therapy So Much Safer With Pain Relief! By Betty Hall My pain began in my shoulder blade and caused pain and numbness down to my hand, followed by an inability to turn my head to check on traffic. I had not been to a doctor and I didn’t care for any type of invasive treatment. The combination of acupuncture and physical therapy appealed to me. After just one acupuncture treatment and an outstanding physical therapy session, I could turn my head. After 12 treatments I am pain free without numbness and can move my neck freely!

Cervical Radiculopathy by Jack Verhees, P.T. What is cervical Radiculopathy? Some people will develop neck pain that may radiate into the shoulder and arm. This type of pain is often the result of a pinched nerve caused by an injury near the root of a spinal nerve. The medical term for this condition is cervical radiculopathy. Cervical radiculopathy pain travels down the arm in the area of the pinched nerve. The circulation in the nerve will be choked off, and depending on the amount of impingement the following symptoms will occur: Pins and needles feeling or even complete numbness. A sharp or searing pain along the path of the nerve. Muscle weakness resulting in continuously dropping things. Symptoms can be worsened with certain movements, like side to side bending, looking up or down, and turning the head. In the younger population, cervical radiculopathy is often the result of a disc herniation or an acute injury causing spinal impingement of an exiting nerve, while in the older patient, it can often a result of spinal narrowing from bone spur formation, decreased disc height, or just plain arthritis.
Treatment: Although some patients will notice that the pain can go away quickly over days, others will develop persistent symptoms and require evaluation and treatment for the arm pain or weakness by a healthcare professional. There is a
Acupuncture & Physical Therapy wide range of treatment options available for cervical radiculopathy, and the treatment will depend mainly on the underlying cause of the patient’s symptoms as well as the severity of symptoms. If you already tried anti-inflammatory medication and are not ready for the surgical option, you should give the combination treatment of acupuncture and physical therapy a chance. The acupuncture will decrease the pain and the inflammation of the nerve by increasing the local circulation and physical therapy will decrease the actual mechanical compression of the nerve by mobilizing your spine and correcting your posture. If you have questions or need more information, please call 386-898-0908.

Grilling Basics
O
n any given evening or weekend in the spring and summer, the smell of barbeque is in the air. It brings images of sizzling steaks or chicken to mind. Another aspect of this summertime ritual is often overlooked, cleaning the grill. Caked-on grizzle from meals past is not so appetizing. Here are some tips for keeping your grill in tip-top shape and your food tasty and safe. If the grates are removable, take them out and soak them in warm water and dish soap. Use a wire brush to brush away any burnt-on grease and grime. Rinse thoroughly and then let them air dry. Keep cooking grates ready for use by cleaning immediately after use rather than waiting until the next time. When you take the steaks off the grill, let any food residue burn away before turning off the grill. Use a wire brush to remove any stuck on particles.
Check other parts of the grill to be sure it is in working order. Inspect the burner and gas supply tubes for blockages such as spider
webs, grease buildup, or rusted-out areas that would slow or stop the flow of gas. A blockage could cause a potential hazard.
Day-To-Day
Life …by Kathy M. Bryant Check all gas hoses for worn or frayed rubber. Replace if needed; refer to the owners’ manual for approved parts. Inspect the rock grids for rust or wear and replace if necessary. Check lava rocks for excessive debris or grease build-up. Lava rock should be clean to distribute heat evenly and reduce flare-ups. Clean and polish the exterior surface of the grill to protect the finish and keep it looking good. Diligent grill maintenance is the key to cooking safe and enjoyable outdoor meals. Have a sizzling time! ST

Section B May 11, 2012 Tails From The Front he recent warmer weather here in Central Florida is a reminder that summer is on the way. The downside is that the warmer, more humid season brings an increase in our local mosquito population. Mosquitoes can be a nuisance, not only to us, but to our pets as well. Mosquitoes pose a significant threat to our animals, as they are the lone transmitter of the dangerous and sometimes life-threatening heartworm disease. Heartworm disease is caused by parasitic worms living in the arteries of the lungs, and occasionally in the right side of the heart. It is a serious and potentially fatal condition that can affect dogs and cats of any age or
breed. The disease is transmitted by a mosquito that bites an animal already carrying heartworm, and takes in the infected blood. The mosquito then bites another animal, allowing the infected larvae to enter the bloodstream. It takes about six months for the heartworm larvae to mature, and they can live within an animal for up to seven years. With the warm, humid climate here in Florida, pets are facing a very high risk of contracting heartworm disease. The safest, cheapest, and most effective way to treat for heartworm is to prevent the infection from ever happening in the first place. Prevention treatments can begin when your pet is just eight weeks old. Heartworm prevention med-
ication is widely available at affordable rates. There are a variety of medication options, including tablets, chewables, and topicals, all of which are effective in eliminating the threat of heartworm entirely if used correctly. Check with your veterinarian to see which treatment is right for your pet. If there is any concern that your pet may already be infected, it should be checked immediately. Treatment is available for infected dogs, but at a higher cost than preventive medication. Heartworms in dogs are treated by using a drug that is injected into the muscle through a series of treatments, and the process often requires hospitalization. The treatment for dogs is experiencing
shortages, further complicating the process. There are no approved treatments available for cats at this time. Dog DNA Test Kits Now Available Halifax Humane Society is now offering Wisdom Panel Insights™ dog DNA testing kits for only $55! The tests, which typically retail for $70, offer a simple method of identifying the breed(s) in your dog’s ancestry. This can help pet owners meet their dog’s breed-specific health and nutrition needs, create a more effective behavior-training plan, and plan activities that cater to their dog’s natural tendencies.

What’s In The Stars
For The Week Of May 14
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The Lamb loves to be surrounded by flocks of admirers. Be careful that someone doesn't take their admiration too far. Use your persuasive skills. TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) This is a good time to begin setting far-reaching goals and connecting with new contacts. Aspects also favor strengthening old relationships. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A personal disappointment should be viewed as a valuable learning experience. Go over what went wrong and see what would have more positive outcome. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Don't leave projects unfinished or personal obligations unresolved, or you might find yourself in trouble later. A relative has important news. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Expect a challenge to the usual way you do things. You might prefer the old way but take a good look at this new idea, and you might feel more receptive to it. VIRGO (August 23 to Sept. 22) Much work has yet to be done to polish a idea into something with significant potential. Expect to encounter some rejection, but stay with it nonetheless.
LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) There still are some communication problems in the workplace, but they should be resolved soon. That “tip” from a friend should be checked out. SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) A new relationship appears to need more from you than you might be willing to give right now. Resist making promises you might not be able to keep. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec.21) That restless feeling encourages you to gallop off into a new venture. Remember to keep hold of the reins so you can switch paths when necessary. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan.19) A demanding work schedule keeps the high-spirited Goat from kicking up their heels. Playtime beckons by the week's end. Have fun. You earned it. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) You are beginning to come out from under those responsibilities you took on. Use this freed-up time to enjoy some muchdeserved fun with people close to you. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) Before you get swept away by a tidal wave of conflicting priorities, take time to come up for air, and reassess the situation. ST

Turtle Nesting Season Starts Early Special to Seniors Today ea turtle nesting season has begun early in Volusia County with the first nest on April 3. Sea turtle nesting season is the time of year when female sea turtles leave the ocean, usually at night, to lay eggs in the sand on the beach. Nesting officially begins May 1 and continues into August. Nests will continue to hatch through October. Visitors to Volusia County beaches and residential and business owners along the coast are encouraged to be proactive to ensure a productive nesting season. The egg hatching period is approximately 48–60 days after each nest is laid. The 2011 nesting season was higher than average with 522 nests laid on county managed beaches. There are many ways to help sea turtles, beach wildlife, and the coastal environment, such as: • Disposing of trash and recyclables in the proper containers. Trash can cause entanglement and ingestion problems for a lot of wildlife including sea turtles. • If you ever see a sea turtle nesting or a nest hatching, stand far back and observe quietly. Sea turtles are protected with state and federal laws and should not be harassed. Lights, quick movements, and loud voices can deter nesting activity. • When driving at the beach use the designated traffic lanes. Beach driving access hours are from 8 A.M.–7 P.M. for the season, tide permitting. • When leaving the beach, make sure to take all of your beach equipment. Flatten sandcastles and fill your holes. Property owners and businesses, as well as visitors to the beach, also are reminded to keep lights off the beach. The lights can discourage female turtles from nesting and can cause hatchling to become disoriented. Property owners along the coast should make sure their light fixtures

are positioned, shielded, or modified so the light source and any reflective surfaces of the fixture are not visible by a person standing on the beach. It also is important to eliminate the effect of interior lights shining through doors and windows onto the beach. There are several ways to reduce the amount of light coming from inside a home or business including moving lamps and other moveable fixtures away from windows, using blinds and curtains to block lights, and turning off unnecessary lights. Property owners should recheck their lighting every year. The beach elevation changes frequently and lights that were in compliance previously may need to be adjusted according to the new environment.

t least four seniors in Central Florida have been unfortunate victims of a scam that played on their heartstrings, because the fraud used fake family ties. The victims answered phone calls from men who pretended to be the victims’ children or grandchildren. Once snagged in the false premise, the victims were then plied for money to help out these fake relatives in need. Con artists know that seniors are trusting, caring, and generous. This particular scam is initiated with a phone call, perhaps to exploit the fact that some seniors suffer from hearing loss. “Hi, is this grandma?” the caller might say. Momentarily confused, the victim may not exactly recognize the voice, but may assume they are talking to a grandchild. Using the name of one of their grandchildren, the victim may even say, “Is that you, Johnny?” When the caller responds yes, the hook has been set. In one incident, the scammer told the victim to obtain thousands of dollars in cash, put it all in a bag and then drive to a nearby restaurant. Once parked there, the victim was told to then leave a car window rolled down and go into the restaurant. The crook then grabbed the bag of cash out of the car and disappeared. If confronted with a situation like this, here are some warning signs:
It should send up a warning flag when someone, even a family member, won't accept a check and instead demands cash. Again, it should send up a warning flag when someone, even a family member, refuses to meet in person.
From The Sheriff
…Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson Also, the caller's instructions include a common element of most scams: secrecy. The caller asks the victim not to tell anyone about the conversation or the loan. The victims might wait for hours or even days before trying to check up on the supposedly troubled grandchildren. When the victim finally calls, the real grandchildren don’t know anything about the money, and the victim realizes it had all been a scam. If you receive a call like this, there are several things you can do. First, tell the person claiming to be your grandchild that you must go and that you will call them right back. Then, call your grandchild to find out whether this is a scam. Or you can simply hang up the phone. As always, call your local law enforcement agency if you think there is anything suspicious going on. ST

Antiques Lemon Squeezer by Larry Cox
Q: I have an old metal iron squeezer The Arcade Number 2. —Cathy, Amarillo, Texas A: The Arcade Manufacturing Company of Freeport, Illinois, made lemon squeezers during the early years of the past century. The Number 2 is valued at about $15. A good reference is 300 Years Of Kitchen Collectibles by Linda Campbell Franklin (Krause, $29.95). *** Q: I have a bracelet that is identified as being Big Sister's Birthday Bracelet, probably from the 1940s. Any idea of its value? —Jim, Canada A: What you have is a radio premium. Big Sister was a daytime radio drama on the CBS network from 1936 until 1952. The series featured Alice Frost in the title role. Your bracelet is probably worth about $20. *** Q: I inherited a set of Leigh Waredishes from my grandmother, and I would like to know the value. —Wilfred, New Mexico

Senior Service Line Friendlier Annual Medicare Report by Matilda Charles
M
edicare is coming out with a new version of our annual report, the Medicare Summary Notice. Medicare spent 18 months asking questions of who receive the reports, and then redesigned it with our suggestions in mind. It's done a good job. The new report, part of the Your Medicare Information: Clearer, Simpler, At Your Fingertips initiative, will make it easier to understand all of our benefit and services information. It will be easier to determine if fraud has occurred, or if we need to file an appeal for a claim. New items on the reports will be: • Larger text fonts. • A notice about checking our information for potential fraud and details on how to do that, and a reminder to check the services listed and also the amounts paid. • Consumer-friendly descriptions of medical procedures. • A list of doctors we've seen, clearly listed, along with the dates.
• Deductible status, with the amount of the Part B Deductible that has been met for the year. • Claims status, with information about whether all services were approved. If the answer is no, it tells what amount might be billed to us. • Preventive services available. For now, this new report is available only online, but starting in 2013 we'll receive these reports quarterly by mail. To see a sample of the old versus new reports, go online to mymedicare.gov and click on ‘Making Medicare claims and benefits statement clearer, simpler.’ In the article there is a link to a side-by-side comparison.

Books Tutankhamen Review by Larry Cox

he finding of the tomb of Tutankhamen by Howard Carter and George Herbert, the fifth Earl of Carnarvon, in 1922 marked one of the most exciting archeological discoveries ever. It was an exceptional find, since it was the first near-complete royal burial site uncovered in the Valley of the Kings. King Tutankhamen's golden death mask found in the tomb has become the defining image of ancient Egypt. Carter's firsthand account of the discovery is riveting to read even 90 years after the fact in King Features Tutankhamen: The Search For An Egyptian King: “With trembling hands I made a tiny breach in the upper left-hand corner. Widening the hole a little, I inserted the candle and peered in... at first I could see nothing... but presently as my eyes grew accustomed to the light, details of the room within emerged slowly from the mist, strange animals, statues, and gold—everywhere the glint of gold. For the moment—an eternity it must have
seemed to others standing by—I was struck dumb with amazement, and when Lord Carnarvon, unable to stand the suspense any longer, inquired anxiously, ‘Can you see anything,’ it was all I could do to get out the words, ‘Yes, wonderful things.’” British archaeologist and Egyptologist Joyce Tyldesley examines in fascinating detail what archaeologists and scholars have learned about this young king and his significance in Egypt's history. She begins by explaining how Tutankhamen's tomb was lost, then located again after years of well-reasoned archaeological detective work. Reports and newspaper accounts from the 1920s, Tyldesley documents the discoveries made as the tomb was cleared of its goods. The Tutankhamen family and its history are reconstructed to provide a more complete picture of the young king and the era in which he lived. The result is the fullest account to date of the discovery, life, and times of Tutankhamen. ST Books reviewed in this column are available at your local bookstore.

Aquatic Exercise: Good For Arthritis
I
f you have arthritis, you probably know all about the pain, stiffness, diminished range of motion, and joint swelling, about medication that helps with pain and swelling, and about the importance of exercise to reduce pain, maintain strength and joint flexibility. However, did you know that exercising improperly and overstraining your muscles and overloading your joints could cause harm to your joints, tendons, and muscles? Judy, a teacher, golfer, and jogger, had right hip pain due to osteoarthritis. Eventually, because of increased pain and stiffness, she became less active and her condition worsened. However, after joining an aquatic exercise class, she managed to regain some flexibility and muscle strength that had been weakened because of her pain, imbalance, and lack of low-impact exercise. Soon, she felt better than ever and was back walking the greens in no time. Water’s physical components such as buoyancy, resistance, and hydrostatic pressure provide a safe, low-impact, medically beneficial, and enjoyable exercising environment especially for people with arthritis. Imagine yourself walking down the steps of a pool. As your body becomes more submerged, you feel instantly lighter because the water’s buoyancy offsets your weight and relieves pressure from your joints and spine. You may feel half as heavy when waist deep, while at neck level, only
about 15 pounds of compression is exerted on the spine, hips, and knees. This antigravity state benefits the body by allowing freer movement and range of motion with minimal stress on your joints and spine.
Where Does It Hurt? by Dr. Yong Tsai
Moreover, muscles need strength to support joints, which can be attained with the help of water resistance. Because water is heavier than air, it creates a resistance and requires more power to move it, which helps strengthen your muscles. People can also chose to wear weight bands for further muscles strengthening. Lastly, hydrostatic pressure is created when the water surrounds your body or limbs. This type of pressure helps reduce joint swelling or edema, an abnormal pooling of fluid, by helping the fluid move back into the veins and return to the heart. Aquatic exercise provides a different approach to conventional exercise programs. Exercise options should range from simple warm water immersion, to passive and active underwater exercise techniques, followed by maintenance aquatic exercise.

Here’s An Idea By JoAnn Derson
This tip is from my babysitter. She gives small children two get out of bed free tickets at bedtime. If they get out of bed, say, for one last drink of water, etc. (we parents know these are stalling tactics), they have to give her a ticket. If they still have a ticket unused when they fall asleep, she will leave a prize with their parents for the morning. —M.J. in New Mexico
We decided that since we got such a good deal, we would treat ourselves to a few new, interesting spices that were a little pricey—and we went in half on them. ST —E.D. in Illinois
My friend and I found some great vintage spice bottles at a garage sale.
