Page A-2—Seniors Today—July 4, 2014

Family members found their wayto Daytona’s beaches on the bigweekend of the 4

thof July. They

come from all over to breathethe air, feel the ocean spray, and laze aroundon the sand until time to find their favoriteplace to eat. For many, this becomes habit-ual. It is the greatest place in the world torelax, if one knows how.

I remember those days when we cameas visitors so well. When we came here forthe second time, the atmosphere took itstoll on me and we moved here soon after.That was many years ago… long enoughto make me almost feel like a native. Whenanyone asked why I wanted to move, myanswer to friends was, “I love to go to thebeach.” As true as that statement is, I rarelygo to the beach… but I know it’s therewhenever I take a notion.

First thing I did, on our permanent ar-rival, was read God Has A Long Face, allabout the early years of Daytona Beach.Next I began to seek interesting sights tosee and spent some time at the Inletwatching the shrimp boats come in. PonceInlet Lighthouse is the second one builthere and has been standing since 1887. It isthe tallest lighthouse in Florida and thesecond tallest in the United States.

Next I went to the Museum and spent anafternoon in the Planetarium. It was awe-some. Very soon I was into a mainstreamlifestyle and just enjoyed the memories ofour early adventures.

It’s was a long, exciting weekend forrace fans. Practice took place on Thursday,July 3 and was followed by the SubwayFirecracker 250. Then on July 4th, “TheNASCAR Nationwide Series regulars facedoff against Sprint Cup Series stars for 100laps under the lights—all in pursuit of thatcoveted Daytona victory.” The big raceCoke Zero 400 was on July 5th this year.Dubbed “…a summer tradition as Ameri-can as fireworks and cookouts,” and offeredan incredible display of fireworks.

The value and ease of going to the raceshas changed dramatically over the years.No more waiting in the hot car in traffic.The Speedway’s operations are constantlyupgrading. I’m amazed at how many areaparking lots are owned by DIS and alleviatethe former traffic problems.

Residents used to plan holidays close tohome when visitors outnumbered them…or they’d plan timely family visits. Actu-ally I still do that.

I hope you had a wonderful 4th andwill enjoy a fabulous summer on our manymiles of beach!

Some people try to save moneyby preparing legal documentson their own, or with the aidof do-it-yourself books or com-

puter programs, and sometimes their penny-pinching results in their wishes not be-ing upheld.

The laws of most states set forth spe-cific requirements to make various legaldocuments valid. Individuals without legalbackground in real estate law often makemistakes by preparing deeds without attor-neys. Problems may include errors in thelegal description, omitting required signersof the deed, omitting language required tosay how the recipient holds title, or failingto meet proper witness and acknowledg-ment requirements. Some such errors canmake a deed invalid, and some can makea deed voidable.

The laws involving execution of wills,trusts, and other documents that passestates after death are much more detailedand complicated. Hand-written documentsgenerally are not valid. People often do notanswer questions on computer-based estateplanning software correctly, or do not havethe document signed, witnessed, and nota-rized correctly, resulting in the attemptbeing completely invalid and ineffective.

A recent Florida Supreme Court case,Aldrich vs. Basile, involves a decedentwho used software, and stated that specificassets would pass to a person, and if that

person did not survive, would pass toanother person. The decedent failed to havea “residuary” clause. That is, the will onlylisted specific items, and did not say thatanything else would pass to a beneficiary.Thus the will was ineffective as to anotherasset that was not listed. Then the decedenttried to amend the will by simply writing anote, which was not witnessed, and thatamendment was also ineffective.

If you want to know that a legal docu-ment will be upheld, it is wise to use anattorney qualified in the specific area of lawto prepare the documents rather than tryingto scrimp, and possibly costing you or yourheirs much more in the long run.

Do It Yourself Estate Planning

Elder Law…by Michael A. Pyle


by George Goldtrap

How nice it is to see a hugeAmerican flag spotlightedatop a high building, over abusiness, or adorning local

thoroughfares. Yes... the flag belongs at thepark, the post office, and heading a parade.It can also fly at home, and home, accord-ing to one American patriot, is ‘whereveryou hang the flag.’

For a while it seemed the flag was anendangered species. Remember the steadydecline of respect for ‘Ole Glory’ duringthe Vietnam era? Folks seemed to delightin embarrassing the nation with their pub-lic displays of disrespect. Most of that hasfaded. Each newJuly 4 celebrationseems to help. Flagraising should neverbe flag “razing!”

Why would youfly a flag?

For the same rea-son you might wantto wear a college orwedding ring. Pride!

You have madea commitment. Itmakes a statement about your thinking,your intent, and your freedom.

Contrary to what you may have heardof late, the record holds that America is ex-ceptional. She makes daily contributions tothe betterment of the world. Under the starsand stripes America has accepted the world'stired and poor, its huddled masses yearningto be free... its homeless, tempest tossed.Even people who hate the U.S. want to livehere. Freedom has been a powerful tool inthis exceptional accomplishment.

Our medical system has taught us thevalue of a healthy body. Americans jog 28million miles daily... seven times the dis-tance of our national roadways. Life spanhas jumped from 38 to 78 years, and thou-sands of Americans live to see. We'veconquered diphtheria, small pox, typhoid,measles, TB, pneumonia, and polio, andwe're gaining on hepatitis, sickle cell ane-mia, MS, MD, cancer, and aids. Peoplearound the world are alive today due toour work on the heart-lung machine, dial-ysis, and the CAT scan. Dentists are puttingthemselves out of business with better den-tal care and toothpaste. Just a few yearsago people would have died of diseasesthat are now eliminated or controlled withsomething as simple as a vaccination.

The American Red Cross stands as abeacon in the distribution of safe bloodproducts. We refill 2,000 people every day.

In 1908 manure fleas brought on acholera epidemic that killed 20,000. Thisthreat in now virtually nonexistent. We arecleanliness conscious due to constantly ris-ing sanitation standards. Sanitation is 10billion-dollar industry.

The fight for cleaner air is due in partto the free press. We’ve learned what dirty

air does to our health. Who would havethought just a few years ago that smokerswould be in the minority and that the pol-lution it creates would be unwelcome inpublic areas?

Years ago a German biologist predictedthat 1970 would be a year of starvation forthe world. Thanks to free enterprise farm-ing, it didn't happen. The year yielded ‘bum-per' crops in an America with only 6 per-

cent of the world’sland surface andwith less that 3 per-cent of us as farm-ers. Our market-place yields almostendless choices, theresult of free agri-culture. Food is soabundant we nowthrow out or sharewith others, 200,000tons of eatable food

daily. The late Dr. Dixy Lee Ray, formergovernor of a northwestern state once said,“For the first time in history we take forgranted that food will be available when-ever we wish to buy it.” What other nationscan boast with an almost 100 percent guar-antee that their public water supply, in eventhe smallest hamlet, will be safe?

Sure there's a lot more to be done. Justwalk through the children's ward of anyhospital... or through the geriatric ward orthrough a long term care nursing facility.It'll tear at your heart. Remember, every-thing is relative to time and time marcheson. In America it marches fearlessly.

America is beautiful, clean, and healthy.She has her problems, but problems arefraught with opportunity and opportunityand freedom go well together. America'snot perfect. I wouldn’t argue otherwise, but,until recently we haven’t had to build wallsto keep citizens in. America is great becauseAmerica is good. If she ceases to be good—she’ll cease to be great!

Recently, I read of a homeowners asso-ciation that told an elderly vet he couldn’tfly his flag. He told’em to jump in theproverbial lake. Good for him. Cases likethat have already been tried, and the ‘no fly’zones were deemed anti free speech. Thankyou judges.

Fly a flag for freedom. Be proud of ourheritage. Not just on holidays, but yearround. Now that would really be exception.

Q: I began collecting beer cans anumber of years ago when I found aDenver Beer can at an area dump site.I discovered that it was a product of theTivoli Brewery, which no longer exists.That inspired me to see how many otherbeer cans I could find from defunctbreweries, and I currently have morethan 200. How can I determine cur-rent values, and is there a club for col-lectors you can recommend?

—Steve, via e-mail

A: Beer can collecting has reallycome into its own since the 1970s.Even though most cans sell at fleamarkets for about a dollar a can, thereare always exceptions. A KruegerCream Ale from Newark can commandmore than $200. Other brands popularwith collectors include GettelmanBeer of Milwaukee; Country ClubBeer, St. Joseph, Missouri; E&B Spe-cial Beer, Ekhardt, and Becker Brewingof Detroit; and most cone tops, such asGeneral Pulaski of the Pulaski Brew-ery of Hammonton, New Jersey. To

determine values, one of the betterbeer can referencing sites is www. ebeercans.com I also recommend you contactthe Brewery Collectibles of America(BCCA), 747 Merus Court, Fenton,MO 63026; http://bcca.com

***Q: I have a copy of Time magazine

from 1951, the year in review issue.Gen. Douglas MacArthur is on its cover,and it is in fairly good condition. Howmuch do you think it is worth?

—Don, Gulfport, MSA: Special time capsule issues are

always especially interesting, and 1951was an incredible year: Harry Trumanwas president; Julius and Ethel Rosen-berg were executed for treason; colorTV was introduced; and African Queenwas one of the top films of the year. Ichecked with several reputable collec-tors, who seem to agree that your mag-azine is worth about $15—assuming itis in good condition.

One of the first truly greatmovie stars of the earlyAmerican film industrywas a former ballerina who

overcame an impoverished childhoodin Poland and a bout with tuberculosisto become legendary and celebratedthroughout the world.

Pola Negri was born in 1897 inVistula Land in present-day Poland.Later, after being accepted into theImperial Ballet of Warsaw, she wasdiagnosed with tuberculosis, whichended her dancing career. She nextturned to acting and worked in Europewith such heavy hitters as ErnstLubitsch and Max Reinhardt. Shearrived in the United States in 1922and made her first American film, BellaDonna. Its success led to a lucrativecontract at Paramount, where she be-gan to establish herself as a majorfilm personality.

Negri rented a large, Tudor-stylemansion and began exhibiting her flairfor the exotic and eccentric. For exam-ple, she often was seen around LosAngeles in her chauffeur-driven limo,

dressed in all white. As she later re-called, “I bought a limousine of purewhite, trimmed with ivory and uphol-stered in white velvet. My chauffeurwore all-white uniforms on sunny daysand all black when it rained.

We just celebrated the Fourthof July and we are celebrat-ing the 238 anniversary of

an incredible experiment we call par-ticipatory democracy. This experimentinstilled in the American Psyche a needto participate not only the governanceof the nation; but each state, local com-munity and ultimately each individualcitizen. Sadly, it wasn’t until August 18,1920 that women were given equal par-ticipation when they were given the rightto vote. When they were, it changed thevery fabric of American Society. Womennow not only dictate the political agendain our country, but, because of their edu-cation and job opportunities, they havedominated the social agenda as well.Defining the structure of family life,women have also shaped the nature ofhealth care. They have done this in a pro-found way: they participate in theprocess of wellness. Because womenhave always been the first provider offood for every newborn, they have aunique understanding of food as medi-cine. As an extension of being involved inprenatal and postnatal nutrition, es-pecially with prenatal supplements, thesewomen are comfortable with makingnutritional decisions that affect them-selves, their children, and their family.

Love Wholefood Markets and Cafeshave been serving these women for thelast twenty seven years. Not comfort-able with the disease model of med-icine, these women read the medicalliterature that suits their pro-active in-volvement in managing their health.Love Whole Foods has been providingthat information through seminars, lit-erature, and books since the day weopened. It is exciting to witness theevolution of medicine from one ofallopathic drug therapy to one bestdescribed as functional medicine.

The new medical model embracestwo real changes. One: use medical test-ing to find out the underlying cause ofdisease. Don’t use drugs to simply maskthe symptoms presented. Two: embracea variety of disciplines to meet a funda-mental goal of total wellness. Acupunc-ture, reflexology, Bowen work, andchiropractic are all here to stay becausethey work. They work because theyaddress the key to good health: maintainthe balance of mind, body, and spirit.

Here is an example of just one out-standing woman who has changedmedicine forever: Dr. Marita Schauch,

B-Sc/N.D. Dr. Schauchgraduated from the college of Naturo-pathic Medicine and now practices inVancouver, Canada. Her book calledMaking Sense Of Women’s Health wasa stepping stone to partnering withNatural Factors unique product linecalled Womens Sense. This line featuresa multi-disciplinary approach to restor-ing balance to women (and men) in aworld where emotional, physical, andnutritional stress are simply a realityof our turbo charged society.

Dr. Schauch simply took the medicaldata and applied Natural Factor nu-traceuticals to eliminate the symptomsby restoring and then maintaining ourbodies’ natural ability to stay balanced.Natural Factors Womens Sense is wholegroup of formulas utilizing adaptrogenicherbs/plant extracts and vitamin/min-eral supplements. They are clinicallytested to be used alone or together.

My four favorites are:• Adrena Sense: Fight stress and fa-

tigue and keep energy flowing with-out crashing. Critical in the peri-menopause phase.

• ThyroSense: Provides total supportof the gland responsible for weightcontrol, mood, and cancer prevention.

• MenoSense: Balance estrogen andcontrol hot flashes and mood swings.

• EstroSense: This is my favorite. Itscoops out excess estrogen com-pounds found everywhere in ourenvironment. Excellent cancer protec-tion for both men and women.To celebrate women’s independence,

Love Whole Foods is offering the entireWomen’s Sense family of products atsubstantial saving of up to: 25 percentoff! As always, we have support med-ical literature and trained staff at bothour locations to help select the rightproduct or combination of products tohelp you restore balance and vitalityto your life.

Do you have a fat cat at home?We often talk about exercisingwith our dogs, but of course,our feline friends need exercise

and entertainment too. More than half thecats in the United States are considered over-weight or obese, according to the Associ-ation for Pet Obesity Prevention. There areplenty of things you can do right in yourown home to keep your cat fit and healthy.

When looking at a cat that is a healthyweight, you should be able to see or feel aslightly thinner waist between the ribs andhips. You can also place your hands alongyour cat’s chest. If you can feel its ribs with-

out a thick layer of fat covering them, yourcat is likely to be at or near a healthy weight.You can always check with your veteri-narian to get a more accurate determinationof your cat’s weight and health.

The reason many cats are overweight issimple—they eat too much food and do notget enough exercise. Obesity can raise therisk of diabetes, skin conditions, fatty liverdisease, and urinary tract disorders for cats.For many cats, the solution is not as simpleas just placing your cat on a diet. This canactually have negative effects as well.

Many studies have shown that high-pro-tein, low-carb foods are much healthier forcats, which are considered carnivores. If

your cat is overweight, try weaning themaway from dry foods, especially those highin grains, in favor of canned foods or a rawfood diet. These foods are closer to what acat would eat naturally. Work on creatinga feeding schedule for your cat instead ofallowing them to eat from an always-filledbowl of food.

Exercise is also a key factor for your cat’shealth. Cats generally do not get enoughexercise on their own, especially as they getolder. You can help by interacting with yourcat and playing games with her to keep heractive. Cats are highly motivated by prey, sousing toys and games that mimic these inter-actions will be most effective.

Laser toys are usuallyvery entertaining for cats.You can create a “hockeyrink” for your cat by plac-ing them inside a largecardboard box or a bathtub with a ping-pongball. Toys that fly like a bird or scamperlike a mouse will also be enjoyed by yourcat. Playing these games for a few minutesat a time, a few times each day will have agreat impact on your cat’s physical fitness.

Many seniors have onlySocial Security for in-come when they re-tire: 22 percent of mar-

ried couples and 47 percent of unmar-ried people have no additional income.Maybe it's a matter of not having savedover the years, or maybe it's having losteverything in recent years due to lay-offs and unemployment.

If you have five more years untilretirement, there are steps you cantake now to make living on only SocialSecurity a bit easier.

• Clear off your debts, especially yourcredit cards and vehicle. If possible, payoff your home or at least get the bal-ance down. Keep your credit score highin case you need a loan for a large pur-chase—the interest rate will be lower.

• If you own your home, look atlong-term maintenance. If you'll needa new roof in the next five years, do itbefore you retire. The same goes forbig-ticket items like appliances, cen-tral air conditioning, and furnace.

• If you're willing to move, investi-gate states that don't tax Social Secu-

rity income and/or have a lower costof living.

Assume that retirement won't meanactual retiring. Be prepared to take apart-time job somewhere. You'll be ableto earn a bit before it cuts into yourSocial Security benefit at the rate ofone dollar for every two you make.

The Social Security Administrationno longer sends out the annual statementof earnings, but you can get a ballparkestimate online of what your future in-come will be. You can open a MyAc-count, or you can use one of the cal-culators to estimate.

Before you make the jump and quitwork, do a test experiment for at leastsix months. Spend only the amount youwould receive under Social Security.Create a strict budget and stay with it.Can you do it? It will be better to knowsooner rather than later.

Dear Paw’s Corner: I read your col-umn on volunteering at pet shelters andfor other organizations. All great, butmany shelters don't let anyone under16, and sometimes 18, volunteer to workwith the pets. However,for kids who want to helppets in some way, thereare still some great waysto do so! They can orga-nize or join fundraisers attheir school or church, anddonate the funds to localshelters or pet-welfare or-ganizations. There are somany different ways toraise money, and that'swhat most animal-caregroups need: cash!

—Cheering Mom in Virginia

Dear Mom: Great idea! Raisingfunds can be as easy as participating ina walk for animal welfare (like the Wig-gle Waggle Walk in Pasadena, Cali-fornia). Or kids can think of things tomake and sell for a fundraising drive,like the two grade-schoolers in Kingston,

New York, who raised money for theSPCA through a church project.

“They were given $10 and asked touse it to make more money for a char-ity. Tyler made labor intensive braceletsand donated $75, and Caelin made

dog biscuits and donat-ed $450,” Marie Shultisof the Ulster CountySPCA said.

The shelter is lookingat starting a youth entre-preneurial group to helpother kids learn aboutfundraising, and plans todevelop workshops forteen volunteers to teachyoung people about howto care for animals.

So, even if a localshelter doesn't have a lot of accessibleevents or volunteer opportunities, kidscan come up with great ideas to helpthem anyway. Parents, educators,church-group leaders, and other youthleaders can help foster the spirit ofvolunteering and provide guidance.

Hundreds, perhaps thou-sands of foreign-born U.S.military veterans who havebeen convicted of crimes

and served their time in prison havebeen deported, despite living legallyin the U.S. since childhood. They aredumped in the country of their birth—a country they may have no memoryof, where a language they may notunderstand is spoken.

What kept those service membersfrom filing for American citizenshipwhen they could have, five years aftergetting a green card? One theme standsout: Many were told by recruiters andat boot camp that U.S. citizenship wasautomatic when they were honorablydischarged from the military. Otherscame back from service overseas inno shape, physically or mentally, to dealwith bureaucracy.

Where do we draw the line withdeporting veterans? Immigrant law-breakers who are not veterans are rou-tinely deported for serious crimes. Doesbeing a veteran and putting your life

on the line for this country count foranything after you pay your debt to soci-ety? For a U.S. citizen, you do your timeand you go free.

What of the crimes these deporteeveterans commit? Should a line bedrawn to distinguish between nonvio-lent and violent crimes? Felonies caninclude any number of crimes, somemore serious than others. Some misde-meanors can be interpreted as aggra-vated felonies when it comes to im-migration and deportation.

Deported veterans can't come back—until they're dead. If they were dis-charged under honorable conditions,they qualify for burial in a veteranscemetery and the government will kickin $300 to have the body returned. Vet-erans still qualify for benefits, but theycan't get here to claim them.

To learn more, go online and research“veterans deported.” Look up immi-gration-law expert Margaret Stock,and read some of the stories she tells.

You might be surprised to learn thatthe hamburger didn't originate in theUnited States. In fact, it was early Tur-kic people called the Tatars who firstcame up with the idea. When they hadlow-quality beef, they discovered thatshredding it and patting it back togetherimproved the flavor and texture.

If for some reason you have a han-kering to see the world's biggest tire,you'll need to head to Detroit (fittingly,I suppose). Located near the DetroitMetro Airport, the 80-foot Uniroyal tireweighs in at a whopping 12 tons. Thisattraction was created for the 1964World's Fair in New York, where itserved not only as an advertisement forthe Uniroyal brand, but also as a Ferriswheel for the entertainment of atten-dees.
