Page A-2—Seniors Today—February 1, 2013

We’ve been reading a lot abouta simpler form of handlinga computer, being addressedby the makers. That will

enable older people to be more inclinedto use them. It seems a very good idea. Iremember it taking me about four years tounderstand enough to do all that I wantedto do with the mean machine.

One thing the computer enabled me todo, once I mastered it, was to write a book.In earlier years, when using a typewriter,more pages went into the wastebasket thanever got read. I was a neat freak when itcame to writing and every page with a mis-take had to be thrown out. Imagine all thefrustration I had.

In the beginning, hearing that there wasa computer class at DBCC on Saturdays,I decided to go… at least to find out whatkind of computer I should buy. Attendingonly one class, I learned that the 386(?) wasoutdated and the thing to buy was the three-digit one that started with 4 (486?). Goingin search, I found the right one and it had8 megabytes of usable space on it!

I taught myself how to use the computer.Never good at following instructions, Iwould do what I thought and then checkwith the booklet to see if it was right.

We’ve surely come a long way since thefirst home computer came to be and youcan’t help wondering how a computer with8 megabytes even ran.

Then there were the floppy disks thatwere soon to disappear and be replaced byCDs. If you had or have anything saved ona floppy disk, you had or have to search outa company that can transfer your informa-tion to a disk. Good luck!

The inspiration to write about the incred-ible computer was a message sent to meby Ruthie, a Florida gal who now bravesthe cold weather in Minnesota and lovesevery minute of it. This is a tribute to allthe Grandmas & Grandpas who have beenfearless and learned to use the Computer.

The computer swallowed Grandma,Yes, honestly it’s true!

She pressed 'control and 'enter'And disappeared from view.

It devoured her completely,The thought just makes me squirm.

She must have caught a virusOr been eaten by a worm.

I've searched through the recycle binAnd files of every kind;

I've even used the Internet,But nothing did I find.

In desperation, I asked GoogleMy searches to refine.

The reply from him was negative,Not a thing was found 'online.'

So, if inside your 'Inbox,'My Grandma you should see,

Please 'Copy, Scan' and 'Paste' her,And send her back to me.

We do not stop playing because we growold;We grow old because we stop playing.

If you haven’t done it already, you mayas well give in and learn to use all the newstuff. Reading can be made easier by set-ting the print larger to read on a Kindle.Games are easier played on an IPad. Thenthere’s that gadget that can get you anywherein your car by making all the turns the bossylady tells you to make. I forgot what youcall that one but, I know it’s a doozy!

It’s been a long haul, but worth everyminute of it ! ST

Have A Heartfelt Valentine’s Day

In the heart of winter, Valentine’s Daycomes as a refreshing time to showhow much you care about the one’syou love. Valentine’s Day means more

than romance and gifts. Whether it’s aspouse, other family, a friend, or even your-self, show your caring attention and lovingaffection in creative and heartfelt ways. Hereare some suggestions for making this spe-cial day and every day more meaningful.

There are always the usual Valentine giftsof candy, flowers, and cards, but why not trysomething unique and creative to makesomeone feel cherished by you. Reallyconcentrate on that special someone andfocus on how special they are to you.Think about all the little things theydo for you and what makes them spe-cial. What makes them smile and whatare their passions? Then try to do thesmall little things on Valentine’s Dayand every day, to make them feel moreloved. To make that person feel specialand loved bring to mind the uniquenessof your relationship and make your ges-tures of love natural and personal.

Notes of remembrance and thoughtsare a sure way to connect to a person eachday. Leave a short note of why you appre-ciate them for a pleasant surprise. That willbring a smile to their face and a warmfeeling. Go out of your way to do littlethings to reinforce what you say, becauseactions always speak louder than words.

Make the last moment of your day to-gether special by kissing them softly, hug-ging them close, and letting them know howvery much they’re valued.

No one special to share Valentine’s Daywith? Just because you don’t have a loveinterest doesn’t mean you shouldn’t com-memorate the season. Remember, you are

valuable to you, so why not pam-per yourself. Take a candlelit bub-ble bath with a glass of wine, prepare

yourself a special dinner and watch aromantic comedy, or treat yourself to a

day of pampering at a spa. Treat your-self to an ice-cream sundae.

Do whatever makes you feel spe-cial and enjoy the solitude of your owncompany. Priceless! ST

Day-To-Day

Life…by Kathy M. Bryant


By George Goldtrap

After a six week lay-off, Flori-da’s Senior Softball Leaguesopened in January. In the localleague there were six good

games, several very close, but none closerthan this one.

The weather was Florida perfect. Insteadof names like Tigers, Cubs, etc., these teamsgo by shirt colors. My Glow-in-the-DarkGreen team has several new guys. I don'tknow the names of half the players, but Iwill soon.

At the end of the 1st inning, we werebehind, 5-Zip. End of 2nd, the gap waswider. Their long ball hitters were hot andoutfielders were blinded by the sun... timeafter time. We did gain a few runs along theway but we never led. In the 6th we gotclose, but were still behind. We missed sev-eral opportunities to stop the lickin' we weregettin' but failed. Once, we fielded whatlooked to be an easy double play but thethrow went to the wrong base and insteadof getting two outs, we got none. Severaltimes, the throw to 1st was wild; 6 weeksoff is forever for patched up senior play-ers. We did not defend well and our batswere slow to wake up.

Going into the 7th, we were again behindby 5 but we did have some meat comingto the plate. The first batter grounded out.Batter number 2 got on followed by num-ber 3; number 4 hit a sharp line drive tocenter. It was fielded on one bounce but therunner going to 2nd was thrown out. Thereare now two outs, bottom of 7th, and run-ners on 3rd and 1st. We have narrowed the leadto two runs.

The next batter tripled deep into the gap inright center. The on-base runners scored.We're tied and looking at possible extrainnings. Everyone is hanging on the fenceand pumped about the possibilities. The bat-ter that tripled is on 3rd. He is the winning run.

A very threatening heavy comes to theplate. He and the pitcher are eyeball to eye-ball. The opposing manager looked at ourlineup and realized that Jane, one of 5 co-edplayers in our league and our 1st base playerwas on deck behind the heavy and hadnowhere near the power of the batter at theplate. Maybe she is the third out needed towin the game for our opponents.

Quickly the opposing manager calledtime and huddled with his pitcher andshortstop. Their decision as expected put on(intentionally walk), the heavy, and get toJane, the seemingly weaker of the two hit-ters. They did. Now there are two on, thewinning run on 3rd and a 'freebie' runneron 1st. The excitement builds.

Jane has just returned to the game aftermissing two seasons to battle breast cancer.She’s healthy and rarin’ to go. Always pos-itive and high spirited, the gregarious pro-fessional nurse has already had a coupleof hits and is never an easy out, but sheknows the game and understands the riskand possibilities.

Jane touches the plate with her 28 ouncebat, and in effect says, 'I'm ready, pitch the

ball.’ Most batters take, (allow to pass), atleast one pitch hoping the call will be ballone, thus equalizing their standing with thepitcher. If the call is 'strike' they are ofcourse down by one, but most consider itworth the gamble. Maybe they can rattlethe pitcher, especially in these very tightcircumstances. Will it work this time?

The eagle-eyed pitcher focuses on theplate and releases the ball. Jane watches itarch. She digs in, a fierce, determined lookon her face. Will she let it go by? No!

Jane swings against the first pitch. Bam! A well elevated line drive right

over the head of the midfielder low enoughto hit the ground, but deep enough andunreachable by the outfielder. Jane has run-ning room! The entire dugout is on its feet,yelling and chanting ‘Run Jane run,’ and‘See Jane run!’

Jane reaches first safely on a well placedsingle, but more importantly she has dri-ven in the runner on 3rd... the winning runand the win was locked up at 16-15.

The team wanted to hoist Jane, their hero,on their shoulders, but alas, they might becharged with excessive celebration like theNFL farce. Instead, they paraded to the cen-ter of the field and met the opponents inthe ceremonial display of good sportsman-ship—each player high-fiving the opponentsand offering an occasional compliment. Whenthe game is over, they're still just kids atheart—and good sportsmen all. You couldhear one of the opponents saying, just underhis breath... just wait'll next time.

Games like this are exhausting and men-tally tiring but they sure beat housework,especially vacuuming. ST

Special to Seniors Today

Glenn Ritchey, keynote speakerfor the Annual Meeting of theCivic League of the HalifaxArea addressed members and

guests on Saturday, January 19 at Ocean-side Country Club.

The Beacon Award was presented toHoward Tipton for his leadership and coor-dination of the fire study, an independentand objective study of fire rescue services inVolusia County, commissioned and fundedby the Civic League of the Halifax Area.

Fire Study Background: The League rec-ognized studies and numerous reports gen-erated by various professional fire and rescuestaff within Volusia County in recent yearshave pointed out the duplication in thedelivery of these services. Due to the eco-nomic climate, the League believed it wastimely to update operational and financialinformation and objectively begin frankpublic discussion on the subject. It is thebelief of the League that the possibility ofmerging these services in some way wouldnot only result in significant cost savings butbetter service the entire Volusia community.

The prestigious J. Saxton Lloyd awardwas presented to Beebe White for her yearsof exemplary contributions to the Halifaxarea. Beebe’s extensive commitments to thecommunity include twelve years on theVolusia County School Board serving as

Chair for eight years. Among her manyawards and achievements highlighted bypresenter Cici Brown, Beebe was the firstwoman to receive the Daytona BeachChamber of Commerce Lou Fox Award.

Mr. Glenn Ritchey, former DaytonaBeach Mayor, presented his key noteaddress, A Look In My Rear View Mirrorsharing his insights as mayor on boththe advancements of Daytona Beach dur-ing his terms as mayor as well as the direc-tion, challenges, and initiatives he hopes tosee continue in the future.

Q: I have inherited an old Singersewing machine and wonder if it isworth keeping.

—Betty, North Port, FloridaA: There are millions of older Singer

sewing machines tucked away in Amer-ican homes. Because so many weremade, they really aren't worth that muchmoney as a collectible. Most of the trea-dle models that I've seen in antiqueshops and malls have been priced wellbelow $200.

Check out www.MySingerStory.comfor historical facts about the oldermachines. It is also an interactive web-site that invites Singer fans from acrossthe country to share their personal sto-ries and memories of this machine.

***Q: Is there anything you can tell me

about a vase that I have. I would espe-cially like to know its value and howold it is.

—Carol, Willmer, MinnesotaA: You have sent me a question that

is impossible to answer. Even with thepicture you sent, identifying the piece

and determining its age would take aprofessional appraiser. Having it ap-praised might cost more than thepiece is worth. With that in mind, youmight show it to antique dealers inyour area for their opinions.

***Q: I have a collection of Look, Life

and Saturday Evening Post magazinesfrom the 1960s and ’70s. What do youthink they are worth?

—Meda, Bethalto, IllinoisA: In the case of magazines, you truly

can judge them by their covers. JFKcovers, for example, generally sell fora couple dollars more than many of theothers. Most Look, Life, and SaturdayEvening Post magazines from this periodare fairly plentiful and generally retailin the $5 to $10 range in shops.ST

According to the Mayo Clinic,most people will experienceback pain at least once in theirlifetime. The intensity of lower

back pain is in accordance to the intensityof the injury. Pain lasting for day or weeksis considered acute. Pain lasting for monthsis considered chronic. Lower back pain isusually triggered by a combination of over-use, muscle strain, and/or injury to the mus-cles, ligaments, and discs that support thespine. This leads to tension on muscles,bones, discs, and ligaments making the lowback prone to injuries which cause pain.

Symptoms of lower back pain includeshooting pain, muscle ache, radiation ofpain down legs, poor posture, inflexibility,and limited range of motion. Commoncauses of lower back pain may includeimproper or heavy lifting, injury or overuse,sudden or awkward movements, structuralproblems such as sciatica, arthritis, rup-tured discs, or skeletal irregularities. Riskfactors that increase development of lowerback pain include obesity, aging, strenu-ous work, stress, anxiety, depression, or asedentary job.

Acupuncture treatments provide a safe,natural way to alleviate lower back pain.The benefits of acupuncture for lower backpain include the clearing of pinched nerves,increasing circulation, relaxing stiff mus-cles, reducing inflammation, promoting

tissues healing, improving range of move-ment, and decreasing pain by increasingamounts of natural pain relievers in the brain.Traditional Chinese Medicine sees thehuman body as an integrated being. It workswith vital energies inherent within all liv-ing things to promote the body’s ability toheal itself. Qi (pronounced “chee”) is a vitalenergy that flows through meridians, path-ways that run throughout the entire body.Qi protects the body from illness and pro-vides nourishment to cells, tissues, muscles,and organs.

During an acupuncture treatment, spe-cific acupuncture points are stimulated tobalance bioelectric energy circulation. Abalance of energy in the body yields mind-body relaxation and optimized physiologi-cal functions of the body. Acupuncture practitioners recommend aholistic health approach inclusive of herbalremedies, massage, and stretching to achieveoptimal relief from pain.

Since November was NationalAlzheimer’s Awareness Month, Idid an article on how to preventthe onset of this dreadful disease.

Also that same month, I did an article onmitigating post election day stress. AllAmericans, the young, not so young, andmature adults, were subjected to a dailybarrage of media overkill bordering onharangue. What we all needed was a littlehealthy comfort food and lots of TLC! WhatI would like to do with my first article of theyear is to link the inflammatory responsethat leads to Alzheimer’s with the processthat leads to premature aging due to unremit-ting societal stress. We already have Dr. M.Oz, Dr. A. Weil, and the oncologist Dr.Bernie Siegel, all M.D.s reminding us thatstress kills.

Remember, the pathway in which it killsis through CVD, cardio vascular disease. It iscurrently the number one inflammatory dis-ease in the U.S. which in turn has inspired adecades long crusade against cholesterol.

However, it was Harvard's Dr. KilmerMcCully M.D. who as early as 1981, wastelling the world medical community thatheart disease was not about cholesterol butabout homocysteine. This waxy arterialplaque was created when the body was defi-cient in niacin (B3), B6, B12, and folic acid,especially “when the body was under oxida-tive stress incurred when the body was miss-ing essential fatty acids from the Omega 3family” (The Fall & Rise of Dr. Mcully, NYTimes, 8/10/97). His B Vitamin/niacin ther-apy for hyper-lipidemia was often as effec-tive as statin prescriptions. Other than sometransient flushing, there was no toxicity com-pared to what current research has now shownwith statin therapy: a high incidence of Alz-heimer’s with long term use (read my articleBeat Alzheimer’s by Remembering YourEFA's). What Dr. McCully was observingwas that when the human body is deficientin these B vitamins (needed basically frommeal to meal) along with a foundation ofOmega 3 essential fatty acids, as in goodcholesterol, an inflammatory cycle is estab-lished. The deficiency triggers the produc-tion of the house is on fire hormone: cortisol.Unregulated cortisol triggers a thyroidresponse. If the stress isn't resolved it spi-rals: hyper-tension and or hyper-insulin-ism. If you stay in the hyper-stressed stateeventually the adrenal glands become ex-hausted along with thyroid function. Achronic state of low energy(CFS), weightgain, mood swings, PMS, and either difficultygetting to sleep or staying asleep can ensue.

So how do we break this cycle of en-docrine chaos? First, try life style changes toeither eliminate the source of the stress ormanage it. Consume nutrient dense freshwholefoods with little or no sugar... nonutrasweet. We at Love Whole Foods havebeen providing just such a food resource toour community for over two decades. Toassist us in a food as medicine program, the

folks at Natural Factors have developed aproduct called AdrenaSense. It features acombination of adaptogenic herbs designedto help support normal adrenal functionwithout over stimulating our endocrine sys-tems (i.e. no stimulants). The most importantnutraceutical in the formula is a plant calledSuma. This shrub like vine is found in theAmazon rain forest. Called para todo by thenatives: translated it means for everything.Nutritionally, Suma contains all 19 essen-tial amino acids, electrolytes, and the traceminerals iron, magnesium, silica, zinc and,interestingly, all of Dr.McCully's B vitamins(B1, B2, B3, B5, B6)save B12. This plantprovides regenerativesupport for the ner-vous, reproductive, and digestive systemswhich are all impacted by stress. When com-bined with the standardized herbs Schisan-dra, Ashwagandha, and Rhodiola (one ofDr. Oz's must have supplements), thenyou have a recipe for wholeness even ifeverything around you is out of balance.We have received nice feed back from folksjust like you by taking just two (vegetarian)capsules MID DAY with food for a month.They felt an increase in energy withoutcrashing, enhanced immune function (norecurring colds), but most important theywere able to get to sleep... and stay asleep.In many cases, they even woke up refreshed.If you take it along with Omega 3 EFA's, anda good wholefood derived multiple vitaminyou will see an improvement in cardio vascu-lar health as well as slowing down the agingprocess (Multiple WF Vitamin linked toyounger biolog. age /Am. Journ. Clin. Nut./6/2009).

We have partnered with Natural Factorsto give you the opportunity to improve yourcardio health as well as helping you get agrip on the stress all of us experiencing inour lives. Purchase a month supply (60count) of AdrenaSense and get a free bottle(60 count) of Dr. Murray's premium Phar-maceutical grade fish oil!

Now you can take care of your heart,slow down the signs of premature aging,and get a refreshing nights sleep! What agreat way to start the new year.

Each year, an adult female cat canproduce three litters with an aver-age of four kittens in each litter,and a female dog can produce two

litters with an average of four puppies.When cats and dogs are left free to repro-duce, it leads to more animals taken in atshelters. Even inside pets should be spayedor neutered. We take calls several timesa month from pet owners who cannot believetheir pet is pregnant. It only takes one occa-sion of a pet sneaking outside or getting offits leash for it to reproduce.

Puppies and kittens can be safely spayedor neutered as early as two months of age,or when they weigh at least two pounds.

Sterilization provides many positive healthand behavioral benefits for pets. Spaying afemale pet prevents uterine infections andbreast cancer, which are often fatal ailmentsfor cats and dogs. Neutering your male petcan prevent testicular cancer if done beforesix months of age. Sterilized pets are far lesslikely to urinate in the house to mark theirterritory. They are also less inclined to roamaway from their home or attempt to escape.

Spaying and neutering your pet is a cost-effective measure as well. Surgeries at Hal-ifax Humane Society’s Redinger Spay/Neuter Clinic range from $20-90 for mostanimals. Low cost immunizations are avail-able at the time of surgery as well. Com-

pare this to the cost of caring for an unex-pected litter of puppies or kittens, which cancost several hundred dollars per animal ormore in the first year.

Most importantly, having your pet steril-ized helps fight the pet overpopulation prob-lem. Like most animal shelters, HalifaxHumane Society is constantly at full capac-ity. According to the ASPCA, U.S. animalshelters take in 5-7 million animals eachyear. Some animal shelters will not evenaccept animals from the public. By spayingor neutering your pet, you guarantee thatyour pet will not add to this number.

To have your pet spayed or neutered, youcan contact the Redinger Clinic at 386-310-

4935. The clinic is located at 600 Mason Ave.in Daytona Beach, in the ARNI complex.

Beat The HeatRight now, you can Beat The Heat at Hal-

ifax Humane Society by having your femalecat sterilized for just $20! They will offer300 female cat sterilization surgeries at itsRedinger Spay/Neuter Clinic for only $20 inthe month of February. This great rate alsoincludes vaccinations and a registeredmicrochip for your pet! ST

Ttreatment of arthritis should in-clude of a comprehensive exer-cise regimen in order to increaseflexibility of the affected joints

and to provide pain relief. In addition, exer-cise can help relieve stress, ensuring bet-ter sleep at night, and giving them moreenergy during the day.

During exercise, the motion nourishesthe joint by squeezing synovial fluid in andout of the joint space, delivering nourish-ment to the cartilage, and getting rid ofwaste products. Without motion, this vitalexchange cannot take place, and there-fore the joints become mal-nourished.

The misconception that changes with-in some joints occur mostly because thedisease process is quite interesting. In fact,joint changes can be a result of a lack ofexercise or immobility. A joint that is immo-bilized initiates a series of changes resultingin joint damage, muscle atrophy, and ten-don wasting.

There are three types of exercise:1. Aerobic exercise, such as walking,

swimming, and cycling builds staminaand boosts cardiovascular fitness. Walking,a popular aerobic exercise can be easilyadapted to your level of fitness by adjustingthe speed and duration of the activity. Overtime, performing regular aerobic exer-cise will increase your general level offitness and endurance. Pain and stiffnesscan be relieved because of the release of

endorphins and the increase of blood flowto the affected joints.

2. Stretching and range of motion exer-cise maintains healthy ligaments, muscles,joints, and tendons. For best results, trystretching, particularly the affected joints,to the fullest extent possible for at least 15minutes a day.

3. Strengthening exercise, such as lightweight lifting can help prevent muscleatrophy and build muscle to give jointsstrong support.

As with any new regimen, you will wantto start out slow and gradual. Focus on thejoints that hurt, function poorly, or appearto be affected by your arthritis.

You are your best exercise expert, be-cause only you can judge how difficult,painful, or tiring a maneuver can be. Withtime, you will begin to feel improvementin your flexibility and joint pain, but onlyyou will know when it is right to makechanges to your individual regimen.

Review by Rose McAllister Croke

Actress Molly Ringwaldmakes a powerful literarydebut by exploring themesof betrayal, infidelity, infer-

tility, estrangement, and gender identityin When It Happens To You. The book,described as a novel told in stories, iscentered around Phillip and Greta, a LosAngeles couple whose marriage is onthe brink of dissolution.

The characters reveal the darkestparts of themselves, with each charac-ter making either a terrible mistake ora life-altering choice. All of the char-acters muddle through their own emo-tionally eviscerating experiences andstruggle to arrive at a place of forgive-ness and acceptance.

In The Harvest Moon, a stay-at-homemother struggles with her self-worth inthe face of aging, infertility, and anincreasingly distant husband. In UrsaMinor, a former children's television starre-examines his life when his actingcareer stalls after a stint in rehab. Anelderly woman mourns the loss of herhusband and her estranged relationship

with her only child in The Little One.In My Olivia, a conflicted single motherstruggles to protect her 6-year-old sonwho wishes only to wear dresses and beaddressed as Olivia.

Finally, in the novel's title story, abetrayed wife chronicles her pain andpens a brutally honest letter to her hus-band's mistress. “When it happens toyou, you will ask him why he wouldchoose to forsake this good, sweet lifethat you carefully built together for agirl who couldn't begin to understandhim,” Ringwald writes. “And then you'llrealize that is partially the point. Hedoesn't want to be understood. He wantsto be misunderstood because in themisunderstanding lies the possibilityof reinvention.”

In her debut novel, Ringwald exam-ines the nuances of the most intimate ofrelationships and portrays how the tiesthat bind can easily become threadsthat fray if not properly nurtured. ST

Someone special will like it.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Youcould be drawn into a problem 'twixtfriends or family members.

by Jack Verhees, P.T.

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is anautoimmune disease and not acondition of wear and tear likeosteoarthritis. RA is a condition

where your own immune system attackshealthy tissue causing inflammation thatcreates damage to joints. The infamoussymptom of RA is pain or stiffness for atleast 30 minutes in the morning or after along rest. RA occurs at any age and canget worse over time. It is also associatedwith swelling of both hands or both elbows.RA will also include joint pain, redness ofthe joints, and decreased range of motion.Some people also experience fever, weightloss, fatigue, and/or anemia. Inflammationgenerally occurs in the knuckles and thejoints closest to your hands, nearer the baseof your fingers.

Can acupuncture help with the pain ofRA? Acupuncture involves the insertionof very thin needles on specific points allover the body and it can definitely helpease the pain from inflammation. By stimu-lating acupuncture points, blood circula-tion is promoted around areas where theinflammation irritates the muscles. In-creased blood flow to traumatized areasprovides an optimum environment for heal-ing. Healthier muscles eventually irritatenerves less, therefore, decreasing the sen-sation of pain. Furthermore, by stimulat-ing acupuncture points, the brain releasesendorphins which are natural pain killers

with the capacity of altering one’s percep-tion of pain. With such a treatment modal-ity one does not have to live with thedebilitating effects of RA. There is defi-nitely an effective way to deal with thistype of pain.

The combination of acupuncture andphysical therapy can be used for bestresults. Acupuncture, manual therapy, andsoft tissue massage can significantly reducethe pain, by treating the swelling around

various knee tendons and knee capsule.Secondly, gently increase the motion in thejoint, and thirdly minimize the loss of mus-cle mass and knee stability by joint andmuscle exercises can improve strengthand flexibility.

Modalities like electrical stimulation,ultra sound, ice, and heat are used to loosenup the muscle tissue and increase theblood flow to the injured area, and herebystarting the healing process by providingaccess of nutrition and oxygen to the in-jured area.

No More Tears! By Mary Sue BaldwinFor over 20 years, I have been suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis ofthe neck, shoulders, back, arms, and hands. My pain is so bad that Iam always in tears most days between 5 and 6 in the evening.My Rheumatologist recommended that I try the combination of acupunc-ture and physical therapy at ARC. After my first treatment, I startedhaving some hope again that I wasn’t going to have to live each day with debili-tating pain. Following treatments just proved this!Just combing my hair, reaching into the cupboard for dishes, or putting my handsbehind my back were extremely difficult tasks. Now with treatments, I can dothose most days with ease and without tears!!

by Blanca TaylorSocial Security Public Affairs Specialist

Like any other successful and long-standing program or organization,there are a number of myths sur-rounding Social Security. Some

of them are grounded in truth but justslightly misconstrued. Others are completelyout of line with the truth. Let’s take a lookat a few.

Myth 1: Social Security is just a retire-ment program.

It provides benefits to retirees, survivors,and people with disabilities who can nolonger work. In fact, almost seven milliondisabled workers and nearly two millionof their dependents get Social Securitydisability benefits. Six and a half milliondependents of deceased workers (includ-ing two million children) get Social Secu-rity survivors benefits.

Myth 2: I don’t need to save becauseSocial Security will take care of me whenI’m retired.

Social Security was never intended tobe a person’s sole income in retirement; itshould be combined with pension incomeand personal savings and investments. YourSocial Security Statement, available at www.socialsecurity.gov.mystatement is a greatplace to get an idea of what to expect duringretirement. You can visit our Retirement Esti-mator at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator

Myth 3: If I work after I retire, I’llbe penalized.

Once you reach your full retirement age,there is no penalty and no limit on theamount you can earn. You can determineyour full retirement age by visiting www.socialsecurity.gov/retirecharted.htm

The earnings limit for workers who areyounger than "full" retirement age (age 66for people born in 1943 through 1954) is$15,120 in 2013. (We deduct $1 from ben-efits for each $2 earned over $15,120.) Theearnings limit for people turning 66 in 2013is $40,080. (We deduct $1 from benefitsfor each $3 earned over $40,080 until themonth the worker turns age 66.) Keep inmind that if we withhold some of your ben-efits due to work, we will re-compute yourmonthly benefit amount when you reach fullretirement age to account for those monthsthat we withheld your benefit. There is nolimit on earnings for workers who are fullretirement age or older for the entire year.

Myth 4: To apply for benefits or dobusiness with Social Security, I need togo to an office.

Not only is this false, but we encourageyou to do business with us the most conve-nient and fastest way: at www.socialsecurity.gov At our website, you can apply for ben-efits, use our Retirement Planner, get an esti-mate of your benefits, request a replacementMedicare card, and much more. You’ll find itall—along with answers to your questions—www.socialsecurity.gov ST

Myths About Social Security

It was about 10 o'clock on a Saturdaymorning. Having changed my babydaughter Holly, age 8 months, I de-cided to take a trip to the shops to get

something for our lunch. I had lived in thevillage all my life, so I knew the road likethe back of my hand.

We arrived at the local shops, went intothe bakery and the post office, and then Istrapped Holly back into the car and weset off for home.

The lanes in the village were never de-signed for heavy goods vehicles, and yettruck drivers still insisted on using them asa shortcut to get to the main road.

As we headed home and approached theS-bend, I put my foot gently on the brakejust in case a car was coming the otherway. As I drove round the bend, headingstraight toward us was a huge red truck.At the speed he was going, there was noway he would ever hit his brakes in timeto stop, and he was heading directly forour car.

I really believed that the truck was goingto plough straight into us, so in a split sec-ond I hit my brakes, unbuckled my seatbelt and threw myself over Holly. At leastif I took the impact, she might survive.They say your life flashes before you, butthat's not what happened to me. All that

went through my mind was, “Right, this ismy time then.” My darling dad had a say-ing when he was alive: “When the whitefeather touches you on your head, then it isyour time to go.”

Suddenly everything went completelysilent. So silent that I thought the impactmust have happened and I was already dead,being transported to heaven or wherever itis we go next. There was no noise what-soever. After what seemed like ages, I gin-gerly opened my eyes. I was still lying acrossHolly, I was still in my car, and the roadwas completely quiet. No traffic, no truckcoming toward us, nothing. It was as if ahuge hand had picked up my car, moved itout of the way and placed it back down onthe road again. I looked in the rearview mir-ror, and there was no sign of the red truck.It had simply vanished into thin air.

Shakily I carefully drove home. Therewasn't another car on the road for the wholejourney. When I got Holly out of her car seat,there in her seat was a small white feather.

I keep the feather in my car as a reminderthat angels were looking after us that day,almost 10 years ago, and I thank them everyday for looking after us when we travel any-where. ST

Angels Watch Over Me


by Sam Mazzotta

Dear Paw’s Corner: I've been think-ing of getting my Border Collie, Jake,a set of those booties that fit over a dog'spaws to protect them from cold groundand sharp objects. Do these really work?

—Sarah in ChicagoDear Sarah: Booties can be very

good paw protectors for dogs thatare outdoors in the winter. The biggestconsiderations, besides price, are get-ting the right type for the kind ofterrain and the level of activity yourdog will have.

For everyday walking on a sidewalk,there are many brands of booties tochoose from, most for less than $30 perset. Booties with extra traction or cus-tomized fit cost a little bit more. You alsocan find fashion booties if you want yourpet to look swanky walking down thestreet, although many of those look likethey would be uncomfortable for yourdog to wear.

Be sure to buy booties of a size clos-est to the size of your dog. Try them onyour dog's paws right away, in case theydon't fit and need to be returned.

Protecting your dog's paws is justthe beginning of cold-weather safety,of course. A dog coat that wraps com-fortably around his torso will helpJake retain body heat much longer.Stay alert when out with your dog,and make sure he is not shiveringfrom cold or limping from an injury tohis paw. In either case, get him homeright away, warm him up, and checkhis paws for cuts, debris, or otherinjury. ST

Dear Dr. Donohue: Our 37-year-olddaughter lives in Denver. She took heryounger sister skiing where the altitudewas 11,800 feet. Our younger daughterlives in Toronto, where the altitude is 250feet. She felt discomfort or worse at thehigher level.

Is it safe for an unacclimatized personto travel to such an altitude so abruptly?How best should one treat altitude sick-ness? Are there any serious or lasting effectsof altitude sickness?

—P and H.M.Answer: At high altitudes the pressure

of oxygen in the atmosphere drops, so lessgets into the blood. Most healthy peoplecan tolerate altitudes of 5,000 feet (1,500meters) to 8,000 feet (2,400 meters) with-out difficulty. Older people and peoplewith heart and lung disease might becomeshort of breath at such heights.

A person, trying to function at 8,000 feet(2,400 meters) or more, can run into troubleif the person doesn't make the ascent slowly.Above 8,000 feet, people should not ascendmore than 1,000 feet a day without return-ing to a lower altitude to sleep. They can con-tinue to go higher if they descend 1,000feet each night to sleep. They are pushingtoo fast if a moderate amount of activityleaves them breathless and bushed.

Acute mountain sickness, a formidableillness, occurs to unacclimatized people inthe first six to 24 hours at a given height.People become short of breath, dizzy, havea dry cough, and are nauseated. They oftenhave a headache.

High-altitude pulmonary edema, an evenmore serious illness and an emergency, fillsthe lungs with fluid. People cough, and thecough's mucus is pink or bloody. These peo-ple have to be taken quickly to a lower alti-tude, and personnel experienced in thetreatment of this condition have to man-age definitive treatment.

People who fully recover from either usu-ally don't have permanent damage. They arevulnerable to a second episode, however.

Your daughter can protect herself byslowly ascending and by taking Diamox.It's a mild diuretic that affords good protec-tion against altitude sickness. ST

Got soap scum? Mix dishwashingdetergent with baking soda and use itto scrub bathroom walls. It's very effec-tive, and surprisingly gentle, as bakingsoda is a mild abrasive that works wellwithout scratching.

“Unless the label states otherwise,the best rinse temperature for clothingis cold water. It will help the clothingretain its shape and color better, and—bonus—it's the least-expensive set-ting to use.”

—I.F. in Texas

When whipping egg whites, makesure you bring the eggs to room tem-perature beforehand. They will yield agreater volume.

Here’s An Idea

by Samantha Mazzotta

Q: My wife's relatives are coming innext week to stay with us through themonth. They tend to sit around thehouse, run up the electric bill, and messaround with the tools in my workshop.Any tips for handling them?

—Bill in Kissimmee, FL

A: Unfortunately, I'm not Dear Abby,so I don't want to step into personal ter-ritory by suggesting how to handle rel-atives. I might be able to provide somesuggestions on cutting the electric billa bit and preserving some of your sanity.

You probably won't be able to changetheir sitting-around habits (presumablywatching television or tapping away ontheir laptops, if you say they're runningup the electric bill). Talk with your wifeabout getting away together for anevening or two during their visit, orschedule a get-together with your friendsone night.

To save electricity turn the heat a fewdegrees cooler or turn the air condi-tioning a few degrees warmer. Not out ofyour comfort zone, but just a little less

intense. Running the central air or heatless can knock a little bit off of that elec-tric bill. Shut off any unused rooms byclosing the registers and then shuttingthe doors.

As far as your workshop goes, that'spretty easy. Set limits. Politely ask, orhave your wife ask, your in-laws to stayaway from the shop area. You don't needto give an excuse. As added insurance,lock the door to the shop—as long asit doesn't impede safe exit from thehouse in an emergency. ST

When I read in the prophetJoel, “I will restore to youthe years the locusts haveeaten,” I was thinking that

could not be true. How could we recapturesomething that’s gone?

Joel spoke the truth. Our past can becomeour present. We can even take these jewelsof memory and polish them up.

I just spent $154 to polish one the locuststhought they had eaten. It was an old Stellaguitar my sister gave me because she knewI learned on a Stella.

When I was a boy I was spellbound everytime my Uncle Van took out his guitar andplayed. I told my Dad I wanted a guitar andhe said, “When you learn to play, I will buyyou one.”

The only guitar I had access to was aStella down the road at the home of PopAdams. I frolicked a lot with his sons, Gooseand Little Britches so each time I visited,I would work on some chords Uncle Vanhad taught me.

One day when Dad came home from thehosiery mill I was waiting on our front porchwith the Stella. I told him I wanted to playhim a song. He listened to the first song Ilearned, Sittin’ On Top Of The World. Hesaid, “It’s time to go get you a guitar.”

We went to Tani Allen’s Music Storeand I tried out a lot of guitars. The one Iliked best was a Martin—the highest priced

one on the wall. He told Tani to find me acase for the Martin. I knew how hard myDad worked and that thought endearedhim to me forever.

I loved my Martin but over the years Ikept remembering how good that old Stellasounded. When my sister gave me the Stellaa few weeks ago, it was busted and un-playable. A repairman told me he couldfix it. I picked it up and it plays and soundsjust like the one I learned on long ago.

There are those who say it is not goodto live in the past. I agree. To return thereto find some jewels and bring them intoyour present is an entirely different thing.It works well with memories of old friends,events, pains, disappointments, guitars,books, and even old sweethearts.

It matters not—with an old sweetheart oran old guitar—you can restore the years thelocusts have eaten. ST
