he risk in being a member of the planning committee for the annual Thornapple Arts Council Jazz Festival is that meetings, like this one, often break into impromptu jams. Enjoying some brief minutes before the start of their final planning meeting before next weekend’s 12th annual Hastings jazz festival are (from left) Joe LaJoye, Craig Holley, Jeff Buehl, Spencer White and Tony LaJoye, part of the 18-member committee that has grown a quiet and simple Saturday jazz invitational into a statewide celebration that will attract 10,000 people, more than 70 high school bands and nationally renowned guest musicians to downtown Hastings for a grand three-day be-bop hop. Much of the credit for the resounding success of the event, everyone agrees, goes to the tireless passion of Joe LaJoye who was also recognized this week as the United Way’s Volunteer of the Year. For a peek at the lineup for the festive weekend, offered free this year wherever there’s jazz happening, look inside.

THE ELDER LAW ATTORNEY
MEDICAID ASSET PROTECTION FOR MARRIED COUPLES Our elder law office protects almost all the assets for the community spouse and gets the spouse in the nursing home qualified for Medicaid, even if the family has $100,000, $250,000 or more in assets. But qualifying for Medicaid is only the first step in the services we provide to clients. The second step involves maintaining eligibility should one spouse die. QUESTION: What happens to a Medicaid recipient if the healthy spouse dies first? When a married couple first decides to obtain estate planning documents, it is usually when both spouses are healthy. The couple may be younger with the main motivation for seeing an attorney being to "take care of the kids." Commonly, a married couple's estate plan follows more or less the same route: when the first spouse dies, all assets go to the surviving spouse. When the second spouse dies, assets are passed to some combination of beneficiaries, oftentimes children. This type of planning may fit the needs of the couple for years, even decades. When one spouse is in a nursing home and applying for Medicaid, planning has to take into account the possibility that the “community spouse” who is not in the nursing home may pass away first. In order to qualify for Medicaid, a nursing home resident can have only a $2,000 in assets. If the www.longstreetelderlaw.com
community spouse passes away first and leaves those assets to the nursing home resident, the resident suddenly would be over Medicaid’s asset limit. This is not a good result. To protect against the loss of Medicaid benefits by the community spouse passing away first, the community spouse must update their estate plan with an attorney that is well versed in Medicaid law. As part of our service to a married couple, we update the “community spouse estate plan” so as to provide for the spouse in the nursing home with a supplemental needs trust if necessary, then when the spouse in the nursing home passes away, the assets would flow to the kids or other beneficiaries. A good community spouse estate plan will result in the nursing home spouse remaining Medicaid eligible, all the while preserving assets for the family.

E
very parent has been there. It’s Thursday afternoon and the kids are asking, “What’s for dinner?” Searching for inspiration, you head to the refrigerator, only to realize that the groceries you bought on Sunday have run out or spoiled. But before the panic sets in and you reach for the takeout menus, remember that the solution for a wholesome, homemade meal is right in your pantry — or “Cantry.” “With a well-stocked pantry full of canned ingredients, I know I always have the makings of a nutritious and flavorful meal,” said Kelsey Nixon, host of “Kelsey’s Essentials” on Cooking Channel and Food Network. “Fruits and vegetables are harvested at their peak of ripeness and canned in just hours, making the can one of the best ways to get food from its source to my family’s table. I just open up a can, unlock that flavor and goodness and make it a ‘Cantry’ Thursday night!” With canned food staples like canned beans, chicken, green beans and broth on hand, you’ll be well on your way to savory meals like Quinoa Chicken Vegetable Salad and Nixon’s Pasta e Fagioli Soup. For more information about the canning process, delicious recipes and to learn how you can get cooking with canned foods, visit CansGetYouCooking.com.
Pasta e Fagioli Soup
Pea and Corn Risotto
Recipe created by Kelsey Nixon Prep time: 5 minutes Cook time: 25 minutes Servings: 4 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 4 ounces chopped pancetta (about 1/2 cup) 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes 3 (14.5-ounce) cans chicken broth 1 1/2 cups ditalini pasta (short tubular pasta) 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, for garnish In large heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Brown pancetta bits just until they start to crisp before adding onion, garlic and thyme. Season with salt and pepper, and saute until fragrant and golden brown. Add canned beans, tomatoes and chicken broth. Bring soup to rapid boil before adding pasta. Reduce to simmer and cook soup covered, stirring occasionally for 8–10 minutes or until pasta is cooked al dente. Season with salt and pepper to taste before serving. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and serve with crusty bread. Note: You can substitute bacon for pancetta, if desired.
Servings: 4 4 cups canned low sodium chicken broth 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 small onion, diced 1 cup Arborio rice 1 (11-ounce) can no salt added whole-kernel corn, drained 1 (8.5-ounce) can low sodium peas, drained 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1 tablespoon butter Salt and ground black pepper, to taste In 2-quart saucepan over high heat, heat chicken broth to simmering; keep warm. Meanwhile, in 3-quart saucepan over medium heat, in hot olive oil, cook onion until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Add rice and cook for 2 minutes until coated with oil. Gradually add chicken broth, 1/2 cup at a time, until absorbed, stirring frequently. Continue adding remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring occasionally, cooking rice until al dente, about 25 minutes. Stir in corn, peas, Parmesan cheese and butter to heat through. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

Each Resident Camper will have the opportunity to go Horseback Riding on camp trails along with counselors. This will be a trail experience utilizing full safety equipment and a brief training prior to the ride. Trained horse staff accompanies each group of campers and counselors.
Evenings are spent in games, cookouts, campfires and more. Thursday evening includes a special campfire with a visit from Chief Algonquin, who will challenge each camper to live the YMCA core values of caring, respect, responsibility and honesty. Resident Campers will also have the opportunity to enjoy all the traditional activities of camp: shooting sports, crafts, nature, boating, aquatics, biking, etc. As in all of our camping programs, there is plenty of caring guidance on hand to encourage children to try new activities and develop their self-esteem.

Again, safety is foremost, so all campers will be given instruction and be required to wear certified life vests. Water tubing is done behind our camp speedboat and is an experience that campers talk about for days. More about - Horseback Riding Horses are brought to Camp Algonquin each Resident & Adventure Camp session giving campers the experience of riding. The instructors first teach each child how to behave around horses safely. Each rider is required to wear a safety helmet. Campers are also given instruction as to the horse’s habits and taught the basics of grooming. They experience brushing down the horses and cleaning their hooves. This “chore” allows campers who do not have experience with horses, to learn the animal’s behaviors and how to be calm around them. Resident campers then have a chance to ride the horses with instructors and counselors through the woods on our trails.
Tiny Tots Day Camp *NEW Two Sessions (Ages 4 to 5) Tiny Tots Day Camp is designed for our youngest campers to learn new skills, explore the natural world around them, and make new friends.
