It’s A Good Day

emember the song, It’s A Good Day? Well, when we reach a certain time in our lives, the days can be better than ever before if we keep aware and go with gusto!

A friend who goes back to Ohio for the summer stays in touch with us and some of the things she noted in her last e-mail were that heading toward the age of 70, you know certain things: 1. People no longer view you as a hypochondriac. They believe you when you say something hurts.

2. You can eat supper at 4 P.M. This does not mean you have to go to bed early.

3. You sing along with the elevator music. Always have—cause singing is the best of living!

4. Things you buy will may never wear out. Actually, we have closets full of sizes that have never worn out.

5. There is nothing left to learn the hard way. We took the hard way and now we’re taking it easy.

6. No one expects you to run —anywhere. Staying behind becomes a practical solution.

7. Anytime someone calls, they ask, “Did I wake you?” All except the tele-marketers who seem to get a kick out of waking you.

8. Do slow dance. The modern day dances could kill ya!

9. You invest in living. Not just monetary investments but your heart and soul.

10. They say: A glass of wine a day keeps the doctor away. The French diet

10 Years

You

Name It …by Kitty Maiden

is an example of how wine can improve heart health. The French have a fairly high-fat diet but their heart disease risk is relatively low. They attribute this to red wine. Hmmm.

It’s a good day for singing a song and it’s a good day for moving along.

It’s a good day, how can anything go wrong?

It’s a good day from morning ‘til night.

I said to the sun “Good morning sun—rise and shine today.

You know you got to get going if you’re gonna make a showing and you know you’ve got the right of way.

It’s a good day for paying your bills and it’s a good day for curing your ills.

Take a deep breath and throw away your pills, cause it’s a good day from morning ‘til night!

It's A Good Day a popular song written by Peggy Lee and Dave Barbour published in 1947.

ere’s a news flash! We live in Florida… the state most occupied by newlyweds and nearly deads.

We’re mostly old. We don’t move fast, we don’t hear well, we don’t read small type and we don’t take kindly to rude people. We are mostly well educated and self-sufficient, (no thanks to the government). Don’t ignore us or talk to us like children. Don’t assume we don’t get it. We do… and we are still capable of boxing ears when you are sassy!

Listen up, pay attention, and remember, it is our money we are spending.

Number one… why on earth would anyone print something important in a near impossible font size? My family buys a regular product from a wellknown company. Folks our age are a major client of this company. This week we spent $50+ restocking supplies. Once at home we began reading information in the boxes and product packaging. In was nearly impossible. The font was about a number 4 and the print was light orange on white. Who designed that… a third grader? No… probably some 24 year old college de- greed genius who ma- jored in marketing or graphic design. Was the poor package design their fault?

Only partly. Who wrote the text or designed the courses where this young adult learned … or should I say mis-learned!

Point 4 font in light orange on white background? Give me a break! Try point 12, black on white and maybe we’ll read it. Otherwise you might as well leave the space blank! While we are on the subject… lose the fancy type fonts. Stay with Arial, Calibri, or other simple square fonts. Lose the old English scripts, or anything else that looks as if it was designed by a competitive drinker who just came in from his flight acrobatics class. Large, simple, and high contrast… IF you want it read.

Next…newspapers. Have you seen one of the daily’s lately? When did they run out of ink? Light gray on dirty white… really. Do subscribers pay for invisible copy or advertisers for unreadable type? I don’t think so. Then complain about it and they respond as if they never heard of the publication. I am happy to ‘see’ that Seniors Today always keeps their print large enough to read! Get a clue editors. We pay your salary.

Happy Talk …by George & Peggy Goldtrap

Now the broadcasters. Who on earth do you think understands or cares about that fast talker who reads the warnings at the end of all those medical ads. If I’m 89 and still eating cheese and sausage, do you really think I’m all ‘hepped’ up on health warnings and side effects. I know, its government mandated material but so are mattress labels and who doesn’t cut those off?

You won’t find any in my house—so arrest me—you over-zealous household policemen. Oh… and I flush my commode twice just because I like the sound of rushing water… and I still burn regular light bulbs… the kind that provide light for reading tiny print!

Remember those! You can still get them on the black market.

I’m never gonna buy a safe to protect my money. I'll just put it in a bran flakes box and seal it with the commercial glue that Kellogg’s, General Mills, Post, and Quaker use. No mortal can open those boxes so my money is safe. I keep my small change in a childproof medicine bottle for the same reason. You know… the pint size bottle that came with 10 pills and a half pound of cotton. I love the directions: press down and twist the cap to open. No problem, unless your best friend is Arthur Itis.

What about cosmetic packaging?

Sunscreen and after-shave are my beauty regime, but Peg's still trying to sip from the fountain of youth. Everyone knows how dangerous lip gloss is.

Those entombed in hard plastic packages defy the Swiss Army. They made knives for every obstacle except $1 eye shadow from the $1 store. Peg’s last package couldn't be opened with fingernails, so I tried a file for leverage but wound up slamming it on the floor... a smashing success… and I bent the file!

Enough! My ranting won’t change anything anyway. If it did, we’d have a whole new congress and administration in Washington. Yea right!

Time to take a nap George!

What’s In The Stars

For The Week Of September 15

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A chaotic atmosphere taxes the patience of the Aries Lamb, who prefers to deal with a more orderly environment. Stay out of the situation.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Tension runs high in personal and workplace relationships. This can make it difficult to get your message across. Wait until you have a more receptive audience.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) This is a good time to take a break from your busy schedule to plan for some well-deserved socializing. You could get news about a personal matter.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) An offer of help could come just when you seem to need it. Be careful about saying yes to anything that might have conditions attached.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Sometimes a workplace colleague can't be charmed. That's when it's time to shift tactics and overwhelm the doubter with the facts of the situation.

VIRGO (August 23 to Sept. 22) You continue to earn respect for your efforts to help someone close to you stand up to a bully. Be careful that in pushing this matter you don't start bullying yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) Don't ask others if they think you're up to a new responsibility. Having faith in your own abilities is the key to dealing with a challenge. Go for it!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21) This is a good time to use your creativity to come up with something special that will help get your derailed career plans back on track.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21) While change is favored, it could be a good idea to carefully weigh the possible fallout as well as the benefits of any moves before you make them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19) The Goat continues to create a stir by following their own path. Just be sure you keep your focus straight and avoid any distractions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A colleague's demands seem out of line.

Before reacting one way or another, talk things out and see how you might resolve the problem.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A personal matter appears to be making more demands on your time than you feel you're ready to give. See if some compromise can be reached.

Q: I have a Liberty Bell cookie jar that is marked with the dates 17761976, so I assume it was made to commemorate our country's bicentennial.

Is this something worth keeping or passing along to my great-grandchildren?

—Ruth, Barre, VT A: I think you are probably correct that your cookie jar was manufactured to observe the 200th anniversary of the United States. Although there are a few collectors of bicentennial items, it will take a little more time before many of the items are all that much in demand. I have spotted plates, cups, posters, and, yes, cookie jars at antiques malls and in shops, but prices do not seem to be increasing all that much.

My advice is to keep your cookie jar, since it will probably be more valuable in the future. How much, I can't begin to guess. *** Q: I have a three-speed Capitol phonograph that my mother purchased for me 60 years ago when I was a teenager. Capitol only made a few,

and mine still is in working order and in excellent condition. How much do you think is it worth?

—Aileen, Howell, MI A: I spoke to several collectors, and they seem to agree that your phonograph would sell in the $75-$150 range. *** Q: I have an original edition of the Stars & Stripes newspaper announcing the end of World War II. I would like to know what it is worth.

Moments In Time Willie Nelsons Antics The History Channel

On Sept. 10, 1813, in the first unqualified defeat of a British naval squadron in history, U.S. naval commander Oliver Hazard Perry leads a fleet of nine American ships to victory over a squadron of six British warships.

After the battle, Perry sent a famous dispatch to U.S. Gen. William Henry Harrison that read, “We have met the enemy, and they are ours.”

On Sept. 14, 1959, a Soviet rocket bearing a Russian flag crashes into the moon's surface. Vice President Richard Nixon expressed some sour grapes by noting that it took the Soviets four tries to hit the moon and reassured Americans that “We are way ahead” in the space race.

On Sept. 9, 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signs the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and the Highway Safety Act into law. The two bills made the federal government responsible for setting and enforcing safety standards for cars and roads.

On Sept. 12, 1972, after nearly 40 years of riding across millions of American TV and movie screens, the cowboy actor William Boyd, best known for his role as Hopalong Cassidy, dies at the age of 77. Boyd was to be the first cowboy actor to make the transition from movies to television.

On Sept. 13, 1980, country music artist Willie Nelson and his band perform at the White House with President Jimmy Carter in attendance. That night, unbeknownst to the president, Nelson allegedly retired to the White House roof to smoke a marijuana cigarette.

• On Sept. 8, 1998, St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire hits his 62nd home run of the year, breaking Roger Maris' record. McGwire was celebrated as a hero, though allegations that he used performance-enhancing substances have since led some to question the legitimacy of his accomplishments.

Chicken Soup For The Soul

M

A Family Gift

y daughter was moving from our home in Florida to her apartment in Washington, D.C., to begin her new job. “I'm really going to miss your cooking, she said with misty eyes. She hugged me goodbye while her dad finished loading the car with packed boxes.

Betsy's comment about home-cooked meals gave me an idea. I decided to make special gifts for my three grown children, who were in various stages of leaving home for college and careers.

After Betsy waved goodbye, I drove to the store and bought three yellow recipe boxes and decorated index cards. For several days I copied family recipes from my food-splattered cards.

I included precious recipes I had gathered from country neighbors when our family spent summers on our farm in Missouri, knowing they would rekindle fond memories of our times spent there.

When the handwritten cards stood alphabetized in their boxes, I closed the lids and set them aside until I would be with my children again. When the time came, I presented each one with the recipes and enjoyed their wide grins and shrieks of delight as they thumbed through the cards.

“I remember making this bread in my second grade class,” remarked Steven.

“Oh, this is the best macaroni and cheese ever!” recalled Lori.

“Look! Here's one for the homemade ice cream we churned on the farm each summer!” squealed Betsy.

Over the years the boxes of recipes continued to be popular resources in their kitchens, reminders of the food and love they were served during their childhoods.

Now, with children of their own, they explained the stories behind the recipes to my nine grandchildren, and inspired them to become young cooks.

One day, a video arrived on my computer. I watched my animated, 11-yearold granddaughter, Amy, as she pretended to be Julia Child and demonstrated how to make an omelet. When she finished, she held it up to the camera and imitated the famous, “Bon appetite!”

I think it's time to give Amy her own small box filled with handwritten family recipes.

e're morning people!

At least we are when it comes to completing challenging tasks.

So says a Canadian study done by Baycrest Center for Geriatric Care and a research group affiliated with the University of Toronto.

This must have been a fun bit of research, pairing participants at opposite ends of the age spectrum: Young adults aged 19-30 were tested along with older adults aged 60-82 to see how memory works... and when.

Memory tests done two times during the day involved seeing and remembering pictures and word combinations, along with distractions on the computer screen. MRI tests were used at the same time to see what parts of the brain were active and to see if they correlate with the other results.

Here's what researchers found out: During the afternoon, seniors were 10 percent more likely to be distracted by the extra screen information and weren't completely engaged on the cognitive tasks. Researchers called it idling, when

the senior brains went into resting mode and weren't focused.

Fast-forward the clock to morning, and seniors did much better at ignoring the distractions, on par with the younger participants, and focusing on cognitive tasks. The MRIs showed this to be so, with other areas of the brain activated.

Here are just a few things that might be easier to accomplish in the morning: • Balance checkbook • Brain puzzles • Driving test • Creating a shopping list for a new recipe • Learning a musical instrument • Reading • Planning an event or trip One of the researchers noted that this morning brain challenge needs to be considered when seniors are being tested.

Tests at other times of the day might not be truly accurate.

Adaptive Sports Get Grant

T

he Department of Veterans Affairs is putting up $8 million for grants to providers of adaptive sports opportunities for disabled veterans and members of the armed forces.

A lot goes into providing events and opportunities: coaches, training, supplies, equipment, recreation therapists, program development, and more, right in the veteran's community. For more advanced athletes, there are the Paralympic and adaptive sport programs on regional and national levels. The grant money will be very welcome and might even result in additional programs being created across the country. (In addition, when training for the Paralympics, there's a monthly training allowance.)

A few examples of upcoming events: Summer Sports Clinic in San Diego, Sept. 7-12; Tee Tournament in Iowa City, Iowa, Sept. 8-11; Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 28Oct. 4; Creative Arts Festival in Milwaukee, Oct. 27-Nov. 2.

To learn more about these events, go: www.va.gov/adaptivesports

If you wonder if one of the adaptive sports programs is for you (or someone you know), go to the website and click around. Look at the Mission ReDefined video. (Warning: There is a 3second IED explosion at the 25-second mark on the video. It passes quickly.)

To find ongoing activities and sports clubs near you, click on Search by Location and put in your ZIP code. (Don't search by your state because I found at least one that was misfiled.) You'll see a list of clubs along with contact information, including phone and email. Click on each entry to see which activities are offered and which disability groups are supported.

The variety of available activities is wide ranging: paddle sports, basketball, shooting, wheelchair tennis, rugby, water skiing, cross-country skiing, and more. There's something for everyone.

Strange But True Mickey And Minnie Married?

I

t was French philosopher JeanPaul Sartre who made the following sage observation: “Three o'clock is always too late or too early for anything you want to do.”

Those who study such things say that of all teenagers who wear braces, at least 60 percent have matched the rubber bands on their brackets to their outfits.

Mary Todd Lincoln's half-sister, Emily Todd, was married to Confederate Gen. Benjamin Helm. When her husband died in 1863, Emily crossed Union lines to visit her sister in the White House. A furor was created over the incident, speculating that the general's widow could be a spy. After taking an oath of loyalty to the Union, Emily Helm was granted amnesty.

John Lennon appeared on the first cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

In 2002, after a bank robbery in Wrestedt, Germany, the culprits led law-

enforcement officials on a 620-mile chase through several countries. After two days, the criminals were finally apprehended in Rivne, Ukraine.

Here’s An Idea Fix That Stuck Zipper

by JoAnn Derson

Coffee filters make wonderful glass cleaners. They leave behind no streaks and no residual lint.

It fills the tent with a soft light, and you can still drink the water!

Use rubbing alcohol to clean window frames. It evaporates quickly with no residue left behind.

If you have a retractable cord on your vacuum, try this trick. Clip a clothespin at the optimum length, and the cord will not retract past that point. So, no more snapping right out of the outlet, which used to happen to me.

—P.L. in Tennessee

“Beautiful umbrella stands don't have to be limited to umbrellas. We keep sports equipment (bats, a lacrosse stick, yoga mat) in ours, and it works just as well in our home.”

—T.J. in Kansas Stuck zippers can be loosened with graphite powder, or simply by tracing a pencil lead over the zipper.

Make your own camping lamp: Strap a headlamp to a full gallon jug of water.

Old socks can be fitted around the head of an old mop or Swiffer base.

Spray with cleaner and clean away.

When you are done, remove the sock and launder.

Humane Society Update Tails From The Front

by Tyler Stove

H

ave you tried the Halifax Humane Society’s Meet Your Match program yet? Pets go through an assessment known as Feline-ality for cats and Canine-ality for dogs. These assessments divide the pets into one of three colors, each of which contains three more sub-categories based on the pet's primary source of motivation (internal, external, or social).

When potential adopters arrive at Halifax Humane Society, they take a short quiz to determine which color is the best match. A couple example questions are “Do I want my cat to play with toys?” and “Do I want my cat to interact with guests?”

After completing the quiz, the potential adopter enters the adoption areas to find each pet's color labeled on its kennel.

Now that they know which color to look for, it is a much easier process to find a new best friend. If an adopter decides they would prefer a different pet instead, no problem!

Meet Your Match is a great tool to match people with pets, but it is not a requirement.

Labor Of Love Successful In Fining Homes For HHS Pets During Halifax Humane Society’s Labor of Love promotion, nearly 120 pets found new forever homes, more than doubling last year’s total! The promotion celebrated everything our pets do to make our lives better, while also reducing adoption rates to help even more pets find homes. Adoptions were divided equally between feline friends and canine companions.

During the promotion, the entire variety of HHS pets could be adopted for only $5, $15, or $50. Just as they are with the everyday low adoption rates, the costs of spay/neuter surgery, vaccinations, microchips, one month of pet health insurance, and more were included. The promotion lasted from Friday through Labor Day. New Retail Items Available AT HHS There are plenty of reasons to visit Haifax Humane Society, even if you already have a pet or pets at your home. One great reason is to take advantage of the many retail items available. HHS has a wide variety of high-quality, unique offerings for your pet, available at very affordable rates.

HHS is now offering the Pet Safe® Easy Walk Harness®. This harness gently discourages your dog from pulling on his leash. When your dog pulls, the harness steers your dog to the side and redirects his attention toward you.

The harness rests across your dog's chest instead of his throat, so there is no choking or gagging. The Easy Walk Harness is perfect for everything from teaching your dog to heel during daily walks to keeping your dog under control at the vet or dog park. It is available for $19.95 –24.95 in a variety of sizes and colors.

You can also find fashionable new collars for your cat. Available for only $2.994.99, the collars feature breakaway buckles and matching jingle bells. They are avail-

appy Fall! We have hopes of cooler weather for this year’s fun-filled Seniors Today Country Fest.

Seniors Today is hosting the Country Fest—a totally free day for the seniors in our community. The event will be held at Holy Cross Lutheran Church, 724 Big Tree Road in South Daytona on Friday, September 19 from 9 A.M. to 1 P.M. and all are welcome to attend and enjoy.

This year’s theme is Country. All Festival goers will enjoy Country BBQ and will find door prizes, games of skill, entertainment, new products, information for living, and much more.

Everyone will be greeted at the door and given a chance to win one of the many door prizes that will be given away. Then it will be time to mosey throughout the building and check out what all the vendors have to offer.

All you country folk will find lots of fun, games, prizes, and surprises.

While the festivities are go-ing on, Seniors Today’s staff will be busy in the kitchen cooking up some pulled pork sandwiches, chips, and cookies for all who come hungry. Lunch will be provide free of charge.

As always our event will have music and entertainment. Do you enjoy dancing? Maybe you know how to line dance or two-step, and would like to come show us your technique or give us a few lessons. DJ Big Tom will be on hand to keep the party going.

These bi-annual events are a way for Seniors Today to give back to seniors in our community and say thank you to those who have been supporting

our newspaper for over 23 years. It is so rewarding to see how much our seniors enjoy these events. We always try to come up with something new and fun and the Country Fest theme was just a way to give the event a new look and added flavor.

Seniors Today owner, Bonnie Schillinger added, “Each event just gets better, and every year we try to top the last! Of course, having the support of our vendors and sponsors is what helps makes the day so terrific. We could not do it without them.

So grab your cowboy hat and hop in to your blue jeans and let’s party country style.

September 12, 2014—Seniors Today Fall Festival—Page 3 Elder Fraud: Protecting Yourself Special to Seniors Today

W

hile the elderly are often targeted by scammers, there are ways that you can protect yourself and those you

care about.

The Problem New fraud schemes emerge constantly and the scammers are relentlessly creative.

Seniors may get official-sounding e-mails seeking a fee for a bogus service or collecting an “inheritance.” Homeowners are targeted with phony service calls. In one brazen scam, a criminal posing as a grandchild asks the senior to wire money to get the grandchild out of a jam.

In some cases, caregivers and family members may try to take advantage of a senior’s dependence and ask the senior to sign papers that shift control to the caregiver, or simply forge the senior’s signature.

Practical Tips for Protection Fortunately, seniors can understand the risks and protect themselves. Here are a few helpful tips.

• Beware of robocalls; that is, a computerized message, instead of a person on the phone.

• If anyone calls or e-mails you offering an opportunity to collect a prize by paying an up-front fee, remember: If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

• Keep your Social Security number, credit card numbers, account PINs, and other personal information to yourself. Your

bank and other companies you do business with won’t call you to ask you to confirm this information.

• Don’t be pressured. If you feel pressured to make a decision, just say no and hang up.

• Open your door only if you recognize the person there.

• Never sign any document you don’t fully understand. If in doubt, ask a trusted friend, family member, or adviser.

• Keep a close eye on bank statements, credit card bills, and invoices to spot any suspicious activity that could indicate identity theft. Requesting a free copy of your credit report annually.

• Shred your old bills and paperwork to make sure your personal information is not seen. Secure your mailbox.

• For home repair projects, always get a second estimate and call the companies’ references. Never pay for the work in advance—unscrupulous contractors may take the money and run.

• Never use an untraceable wire service to transfer money. If you have to wire money, manage the transfer with your bank and make sure it can trace the recipient.

If you think you or a loved one has been the target of elder fraud, contact the state’s Department of Consumer Protection to report the abuse. For more information, visit the National Committee for the Prevention of Elder Abuse at www.preven telderabuse.org
