Frederick journalist Jeff Thoreson pens ‘Golf Bucket List’
‘It’s a lifestyle’
BY SHUAN BUTCHER SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-POST
Frederick author and journalist Jeff Thoreson began his golf journey by hitting whiffle balls with his father’s clubs in the backyard of his childhood home.
“My father played golf a little bit and had clubs in the basement,” he said.
From a financial perspective, he didn’t have access to the real game until later in life. In high school, he would try to play one round each summer.
“My three brothers and I would save up enough to pay the $3.25 green fees.”
He really didn’t start playing seriously until he graduated from college. There were some other young professionals at his first job with The Gettysburg Times went out to chop it around at some courses.
“It was four guys going out, having fun, with nothing else to do,” he recalled. “We weren’t [serious] golfers then. We enjoyed it, but none of us could break 100.”
As his writing career advanced, Thoreson was able to play more courses. He spent a few years in Philadelphia and New York and played on weekends. “I got a little better and was able to get my handicap down to 7.”
But what really changed the game of golf for him was when his kids got into it. “They would need to be taken to the driving range or to a lesson.
Frederick author and avid golfer Jeff Thoreson.
Rather than driving home, I would stay and practice and hit balls on my own. That is when I started getting better at the game and really enjoying it.”
It wasn’t until Thoreson was in his early 40s that he got his first lesson.
“When I got decent at the game and able to play in state level tournaments, I realized I needed some help to see if I could improve. Fran Rhoads, a longtime PGA director of instruction at TPC Potomac, happened to be a Lake Linganore neighbor. Between
Rhoads and J.P. Lunn, a longtime local pro and former director of golf at Holly Hills Country Club, both helped Thoreson incrementally move along in the game.
Having now played the game of golf for more than 40 years, Thoreson has published a new book through Ulysses Press titled “The Golf Bucket List: 100 Ideas for Enjoying the Great Game of Golf.”
Thoreson has written about golf for 30 years for various publications and is known as a golf writer, so the book
is a natural extension of what he has been doing for many years. He had previously written another collection of essays and self-published it digitally in order to “scratch that itch,” as he put it.
“The Golf Bucket List” is more than a checklist.
“I didn’t want to tell people where to play. Instead, it became a collection of essays about my experiences of playing golf and traveling. One of the essays focuses on all the time, money and effort that goes into the game and

whether it was worth it. Golf is frustrating. It is endlessly challenging. Tiger Woods makes it look easy, but it’s not. You never master it.”
According to Thoreson, readers will hopefully laugh a little bit, be a little introspective and understand that golf is more than swings and rounds.
“It’s a lifestyle. Like any lifestyle, it is part of you; it’s not something you do. There are endless opportunities that golf can provide. I have been able to use the game to travel or see things I otherwise probably would never see. I hope that stirs some of that in people.”
As for Thoreson, he gets out on the course two to four times a week these days — and his bucket list includes playing Lofoten Lakes, a golf course inside the Arctic Circle in Norway.
“With my last name being Norwegian, it would tick off a couple of things for me.”
He also wants to play the Nullarbor Links, a series of holes along Eyre Highway off the south coast of Australia.
“A couple of truck drivers wanted to build a hole at these roadside stops or towns, and it is the longest golf course in the world.” Thoreson practices his putting at Clustered Spires Golf Course.
This pasta salad has all the best parts of an antipasto spread
BY JULIA TURSHEN THE WASHINGTON POST
If a cookout or picnic is in the cards for you this summer, today’s recipe for Italian Pasta Salad is the perfect dish to bring along. It’s adapted from “Food Gifts: 150+ Irresistible Recipes for Crafting Personalized Presents,” by America’s Test Kitchen and Elle Simone Scott, and it covers all the pasta salad bases.
It’s got pasta, of course, but also the great briny, pickley, rich things that make an antipasto platter sing: olives, pepperoncini, sun-dried tomatoes, salami, mozzarella, and a dressing full of capers and anchovies. No picnic in your future? Please still try this. It’s a handy dish to make over the weekend and enjoy throughout the week, and an ideal candidate to bring to work for lunch or to take with you on a hike, a prize waiting for you when you reach the top of the (proverbial or real) mountain.
Simone Scott, a Detroit native who in 2016 became the first Black woman to appear as a regular host on the “America’s Test Kitchen” television program, includes several smart decisions in the recipe. First, she has you cook the pasta past al dente, until it’s actually soft. Pasta firms as it cools, so in a cold salad, this ensures that it ends up the optimal texture. Next, if you’re bringing the salad to a picnic or cookout, she suggests packing the arugula and basil separately, so you can add them at the last minute, preserving their flavor and freshness while avoiding wilting.
May I suggest a classic Caesar salad to go with this pasta salad? I am suggesting it not only because they would be great together, but also because making your own Caesar dressing lets you use up the rest of the can or jar of anchovies you open for the pasta salad.
arugula and basil, can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
Where to buy: Unsliced salami can be found at specialty markets, butcher shops and gourmet stores.
INGREDIENTS
Fine salt
1 pound fusilli
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
3 oil-packed anchovy fillets
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more to taste
1 cup (5 ounces) pepperoncini, stemmed, plus 1/4 cup brine from the jar
2 tablespoons drained brined capers 8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese pearls, patted dry (see Substitutions)
To make my favorite Caesar dressing, which I like to call Julia’s Caesar (say it out loud and you’ll understand), you’ll need either a blender or an immersion (stick) blender.You can also use a food processor, but the result won’t be as creamy. Whatever appliance you use, blend together the remaining anchovies, plus the oil they’re packed in with 2 tablespoons each of fresh lemon juice, red wine vinegar and water, plus ½ cup each of olive oil and mayonnaise. Add enough grated parmesan to make it thick (about ½ cup), and season with minced fresh garlic, salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper. Serve over chopped romaine, and that’s it!
It’s a make-ahead, easy-to-transport side dish that will make you the star of the cookout.
Italian Pasta Salad
6 to 8 servings (makes about 13 cups)
Total time: 40 mins
Full of Italian pantry staples such
as olives, capers, pepperoncini and sun-dried tomatoes, this pasta salad is packed with flavor. Diced salami and mozzarella give it heft, and arugula and basil offer freshness. All of the ingredients are very customizable, so you can make the salad suit your tastes (increase the pepper flakes for more heat, add more arugula for more of a peppery bite, etc.). Chef and cookbook author Elle Simone Scott relies on a trick to get the right texture for the pasta in this salad: She cooks it slightly longer than the package instructions call for to get it al dente, as the pasta firms up as it cools.
To make this recipe go faster, chop the flavorful add-ins while the water comes to a boil and the pasta cooks.
Make ahead: For a more developed flavor, prepare and refrigerate the salad right up until adding the arugula and basil for up to 1 day in advance.
Storage: The pasta salad, minus the
4 ounces salami, diced (see Notes) 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and thinly sliced 1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, chopped
2 cups (2 ounces) baby arugula, plus more to taste
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh basil
STEPS
In a large pot over high heat, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil. Season the water lightly with salt — you’ll have lots of salty, briny ingredients in the salad to add flavor — and add the pasta. Cook, stirring often, until the pasta is tender throughout, 2 to 3 minutes past the package instructions for al dente. While the water comes to a boil and the pasta cooks, in a liquid measuring cup, combine the oil, garlic, anchovies and crushed red pepper flakes. Cover and microwave on HIGH until bubbling and fragrant, 30 to 60 seconds. (If you don’t have a microwave, heat the ingre-

dients together in a small skillet over medium heat until sizzling.)
Slice half of the pepperoncini into thin rings and transfer to a large bowl (where you’ll assemble your salad). In a mini food processor, combine the remaining peperoncini with the capers and pulse until finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add the pepperoncini brine and the warm oil mixture and process until it forms a smooth dressing, about 20 seconds. You should have about 3/4 cup of the dressing.
When the pasta is ready, drain it, then rinse under cold running water until completely cooled. Drain thoroughly, then transfer to the bowl with the peperoncini. Add the mozzarella, salami, sun-dried tomatoes and olives, and toss to combine. Add the dressing to the pasta mixture and toss to combine. At this point, the pasta salad can sit at room temperature for up to 2 hours, or cover and refrigerate until needed. When ready to serve, stir in the arugula and basil.
Substitutions: Try to find whole, not
pre-sliced, salami, so you can control the size of your dice. No basil? Use parsley. Fresh mozzarella pearls diced fresh mozzarella or your favorite cheese. Salami soppressata. Kalamata olives your favorite briny olive. Gluten-free? Use gluten-free pasta. Vegetarian? Skip the anchovies and salami. Vegan? See above and substitute diced smoked tofu for the cheese. Looking for even more color? Add a pint of halved rainbow cherry tomatoes.
Notes: Try to find whole, not presliced, salami, so you can control the size of your dice.

Understanding lucid episodes in dementia
BY VINCENT JACOBBI MAYO CLINIC NEWS NETWORK
Arecent Mayo Clinic study published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association investigated lucid episodes in people living with later stages of dementia, providing insights into how these occurrences reveal themselves.
The findings showed that 75% of people having lucid episodes were reported to have Alzheimer’s disease as opposed to other forms of dementia.
Researchers define lucid episodes as unexpected, spontaneous, meaningful and relevant communication from a person who is assumed to have permanently lost the capacity for coherent interactions, either verbally or through gestures and actions.
Family caregivers of people living with dementia were surveyed and asked about witnessing lucid episodes. Researchers then classified the episodes into types.
The study aimed to determine if there were distinct patterns or types of lucid episodes that could be used to understand why or when they happen.
“We determined the types of episodes based on the circumstances surrounding the episode, the quality of the communication during the episode, how long it lasted, the level of cognition of the person living with dementia before the episode and the proximity to death,” says Joan Griffin, Ph.D., lead author of the study.
The findings revealed that of those having lucid episodes, 61% were women, with 31% living in the same household as the caregiver who responded to the survey.
“We know these lucid episodes are happening, but we didn’t know if there

A recent study showed 75% of people having lucid episodes have Alzheimer’s disease as opposed to other forms of dementia.
are different types of episodes that happen at different times or under different circumstances,” says Dr. Griffin. “This study helped clarify that different types of episodes likely exist.”
Contrary to findings from previous research, the conclusions of this study challenge the idea that lucid episodes may signal impending death.
“It’s important for people to know that these are not necessarily harbingers for death,” says Dr. Griffin. “I think people can get anxious when they happen, so it’s good to know that there are different kinds of episodes that don’t necessarily mean death is imminent.”
Dr. Griffin notes that researchers now are conducting a longitudinal study to better understand lucid episodes and how caregivers react to them and take meaning from them. Longitudinal studies allow researchers to track changes or behaviors over time and to identify any relationships between these changes.
“With this new study, we’ll be able to understand better what patterns exist and determine the consequences of the episode over time,” explains Dr. Griffin.
Showing compassion for caregivers and their loved ones
Dr. Griffin underscores the need to understand these episodes to help care-
givers with their work and remind them of the cognitive and emotional potential of people living with dementia.
“Caregivers of people living with dementia must manage a long list of challenges and it can be overwhelming,” says Dr. Griffin. “Perhaps understanding these episodes can help lighten that load.”
“We have found in our research and stories from caregivers that these kinds of episodes change how they interact with and support their loved ones — usually for the better,” she adds. “These episodes can serve as reminders that caregiving is challenging, but we can always try to care with a little more humanity and grace.”
Ask Harry Your estate planning questions answered
Can a trust take out a home equity loan?
BY HARRY S. MARGOLIS
Can a home equity loan be obtained on real estate held in a trust?
Generally, the answer is no. This is not because there is any law against trusts taking out loans or banks extending loans to trusts, but because of the way the mortgage market works.
Many home equity loans and other forms of mortgages are resold by banks and other lending institutions on the secondary mortgage market. They do this both as a way to spread out risk and to generate liquidity. On the second point, if they are paid by someone else for the loan, then they have the cash back to lend to other borrowers.
(You may remember the mid-2000s financial crisis which was in large part set off by the failure of high-risk mortgages being sold on the secondary market in ways that concealed their risk.)
equity loan on real estate in a revocable trust, you can first convey the property out of the trust back to the grantor or grantors. They can then take out the loan, and then convey the property back into the trust. There’s no bar on property subject to a mortgage being transferred into a revocable trust. It’s more complicated for irrevocable trusts. First, the trust may or may not permit the property to be transferred back to the grantor. Second, doing so might have adverse tax consequences or defeat a purpose of the irrevocable trust, such as asset protection or Medicaid planning.

For all these reasons, when we do estate planning involving revocable trusts for younger clients, we’re less likely to transfer their homes into trust. This is because they are more likely to refinance than older clients and we don’t want to force them to execute new deeds beforehand and afterwards.
In order for loans to be sold on the secondary market, they must be plain vanilla or “conforming.” The problem with trusts is that every trust is different, so to understand the nature of the borrower lenders and their lawyers would have to examine and understand the terms of the trust before they would lend to it. This is too much trouble for the secondary market. So, it’s much easier for them to just lend to individuals.

SUDOKU
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
