Washingtonpoliticiansand bureaucrats have de-veloped a simplistic ap-proach to drafting lawsandregulations for imple-menting favored policies:They make war on whatthey don’t like and fabri-cate truths in support ofwhat they do.It’s not a hot war us-ing bullets and bombs;but war it is as each sideshoots down opposingideas and viciously at-tacks individuals, for thetemerity of voicing a different approach.Words are theweapon of choice and so-cial media the bombardment deliverymechanism. But since war in any formis destructive, it’s Americans who ul-timately are harmed by battles foughtover hidden agendas embodied in badlyconstructed legislation.There’s no trucein sight for these wars:War on Wellness: Obamacare wasnever abouthealth care.Therewere sim-pler alternatives for achieving the bill’ssupposed goals— coverage for the poorand thosewith prior existing conditions— than the takeover of the U.S. healthcare system.Thecancellationofmillionsof insurance policies that do not meetgovernment standardswasplanned fromthe beginning. It’s the only way Obam-acare couldworkfinancially. Statementsto the contrary were outright lies. Thereal agenda was always the takeover.That’s why announced delays and fixeswon’twork.Meanwhilemillions are leftwithout coverage.War onWealth: The “villains” in thiswar are the achieverswho, throughhardwork and responsible planning, have ac-cumulated wealth over their lifetimes;

the “1 percenters,” as theyare called with disdain.Thiswaraims to take thatwealth and redistribute itmore “fairly” to apprecia-tive voters. The very actof legally expropriatingthe wealth through high-er taxes or other means,however, is detrimentalto the middle class thewarmongers so ferventlyclaim they support. It isthe productive employ-ment of wealth that cre-ates jobs, not the sinkhole

spending by government or redistribu-tion to a consuming populace.War on Workers: The main reasonthe unemployment rate has been slowlyinching down is not that new jobs arebeing created but rather that workersare giving up the search for work. Theavailable labor force has shrunk to lev-els last seen in the early 1970s. Massiveover-regulation, confusing Fed mon-etary and government spending poli-cies, Obamacare penalties and restric-tive worker definitions and exorbitantminimumwage hikes are inhibiting jobcreation.War on Weather: Despite evidencethat man-made climate change seemsto be a nonevent and governments ev-erywhere — e.g. Australia, Germany— recognizing the economic folly ofanti-fossil fuel, pro-renewable cleanenergy resources policies, the presentadministration still wages war on allthings fossil. Yet, the U.S. has actuallywon the decades’ old war for energy in-dependencebybecoming theworld’sNo.1 producer of energy-derived from fossilfuels. Nevertheless, every time there’s astorm thewar rhetoric, the need to “fightglobalwarming,” emerges as if somecar-bon tax will defeat extremeweather.War on Washington: Here’s the realwar that needs to be fought—by the vot-ers. Theyneed to dump thewarmongersin Washington and replace them withtruth tellers having no hidden agendasand the humility to allow citizens thefreedom to live their own lives.

1.All inFavor,SayEye!

Do your productshave tangible features?If so, when you refer to asmooth surface, a pieceofdecorative hardware or adistinctive design, wheredoes your eye contact go?It shouldgo,directly to theproduct features you’rereferencing. When youreye contact is directed to-ward theproduct’s featureor even a word or picturethatdescribes that featureonapage, your customer is alsodrawn toyour lineof sight.Thisdrawsattention toorhighlightsonly the featureyouwant toemphasize. And then, when you deliverthe benefit(s) of that feature, (even for anintangible product or service), with theaid of a translation or conversion phraselike: ... what thismeans to you is ...Where do you think your eye contactgoes now?Directly to your customer’s right eye!Yep, only their right eye!Why?Because it’s impossible to look some-body in both eyes! Try it. You’ll endup bleary eyed, cross-eyed or simplyperched on the bridge of their nose.Therefore, to communicate the benefitsin a persuasive, sincere and profitablemanner, deliver them to one eye. Andto the person who matters most, yourprospect, client or customer!Remember,you’re always doing more than selling aproduct or service. Ideally, you’re alsobuilding a relationship.Several years ago on a flight to Tex-as, I met a woman from Broken Arrow,Oklahoma. She told me she was a salestrainer for a company specializing infinger nail designs for both men andwomen.When I asked, “What’s uniqueabout training manicurists?” she re-sponded, “How many professions doyou know of, where you literally get theopportunity to hold your client’s hand?!”Whether you label it hand-holding, per-sonalized attention, customer focus orgoodwill, you should be translating notonly the features of your product or ser-vice, yet also your value and ability toserve a client for the long term.

2. ParadoxPower!

According to myfriend, John Blumberg,(a talented speaker andauthor), there’s power ina paradox.

Like:■ Less is more.■Perfection is imperfect.■The faster I go, the fur-ther behind I get.

John believes a para-dox calls you below the

surface, to an adventure of flip-flopsand opposites. Over the years, he hascollected hundreds of examples. Eachparadox, despite its simplicity, offerswisdom and practical insights to openour eyes to what’s happening below thesurface, in relationships, problem solv-ing, strategicplanningorhowweseeandexperience life.

For example:■ The only thing that stays the same ischange.■Without the storm there would be norainbow.■ Silence speaks volumes.■The slow and steady win the race.■ Blind faith.■ If you choose not to decide, you stillhavemade a choice.■Taking time is giving time.

Lil’ Italy Bistro is a family owned local bistro in Bonita Springsspecializing in Italian cusine. Owner Scott Simone said hisrestaurant is a place were customers can treat themselvesto homemade Italian food while surrounded in adelighting atmosphere.

2What do you enjoy mostabout owning the business?Our guests keep telling us how

much they love our food. They are de-lighted we opened our business in Bo-nita. They always leave with a smileand return with family and friendsto talk and socialize while sharing ahome cooked, hand tossed meal. Wehave many regular customers whovisit multiple times each week.

3What does your business of-fer that’s unique compared tobusinesses like yours?Fresh food. It is very rewarding

for me to see customers enjoyingthe food I work diligently preparingfresh daily. Many Guests come in therestaurant and say their friend orneighbor recommended they stop inand try one of our specialties; espe-cially the lasagna soup and delicioushand tossed pizzas.

4What is unique abouthaving a business inSouthwest Florida?The sunny weather in South West

Florida makes owning a businessideal. The warm summers make fora slow season as the snow birds areout of town. This allows for ample op-portunity to meet our local custom-ers who keep coming back for more.The many snow birds who comedown in the winter months keep mefeeling connected to my home stateof Ohio.

HMA says it incorrectlycollected fed paymentsNaples-based hospital operator Health

Management Associates Inc. says it wronglycollectedmillions in government incentive pay-ments for nearly a dozen of its hospitals undera federal programdesigned to promote thespread of electronic health records.Late Tuesday, HMA said it will revise its

financial statements to reflect the error,amending its filings with the U.S. Securi-ties and Exchange Commission as soonas possible.Based on an internal review, the

company said it realized it had made amistake in determining that 11 of its hos-pitals met the so-called “meaningful use”criteria necessary to qualify for the stateand federal payments.HMA has notified the Centers forMedicare

andMedicaid Services, which administersthe incentive programs, as well as otherstate agencies involved in the programs,designed to improve health care in the U.S.Reached by phone late Tuesday, Eric

Waller, a senior vice president and thechief marketing officer for HMA, said thecompany would have no further comment

about changing its financial statements,which it announced in a news release.HMAestimates that between July 1, 2001,

and Sept. 30, 2013, it claimed $31million inincome from incentive payments for hospitalsthat didn’t qualify for them. The companymistakenly claimed $8.3million in 2011, about$17.3million in 2012, and roughly $5.4millionin the first half of this year.On Oct. 30, HMA removed the 11 hospi-

tals from the incentive programs and hasrepaid most of the money to the Centersfor Medicare and Medicaid Services. Thecompany expects to re-enroll the hospitalsin the programs, with hopes of recoup-ing some of the money it returned. Thecompany said it’s trying to remediate “amaterial weakness in internal control” thatled to the oversight.HMA, which has not yet announced its

results for the third quarter ending Sept.30, operates two hospitals in Collier County— Physicians Regional on Pine Ridge andCollier Boulevard.At this time, the company is not providing

annual financial guidance for 2013, and it haswithdrawn its earlier guidance on July 30.HMA said plans to merge with Commu-

nity Health Systems Inc. are still movingahead and remain on track, with expecta-tions of a closing early next year.HMA shareholders still have to vote to

approve the deal.

As the holidays approach, consumersare anxious to get their homes lookingnice for the holiday season. They turntheir focus to homemaintenance, remod-eling and repair projects.Most of us leadhectic lives and are busy shopping for theholidays which leaves little time for usto complete home projects big or small.Finding a trustworthy business is thesamewhether you’re looking for a remod-eler, handyman, plumber, painter, poolcontractor or landscaper.This year your BBB has seen a 37percent increase over 2012 in businessinquiries which supports consumersare doing their homework before theyhire a business.“During theHolidays consumerswantthier home improvement projects donequickly,” said Karen Nalven, Presidentof BBB ServingWest Florida. “There arehundreds of reputable contractors in ourarea who will deliver quality work, ontime andwithin budget.”Your BBB advises homeowners to bewary of contractorswhopromisework atcut-ratepricesorwhoask thehomeownerto pull his own permit.It’s in your best interest to ensure thatthe contractor you hire is properly li-censed and insured to perform work inFlorida.This protects you as a homeown-er andassures that thework is done safelyand completed according to all buildingcode requirements.If youneedhelp around thehouse, BBBoffers the following tips:

■ Use bbb.org to find trustworthybusinesses. Start your search with BBBBusiness Directory to find BBB Accred-ited contractors in your area. If you arereferred to a business through friends,

family or an advertisement, verify thebusiness is in good standing at bbb.orgbefore contacting them.

■Comparecosts.Get at least three bidsfrom prospective contractors based onthe same specifications, materials, laborand time needed to complete the project.BBB’s Request-a-Quote service is freeto use and will allow BBB AccreditedBusinesses to send you quotes via email.Understand variations in price may beassociated with quality of materials.

■ Call references. Ask all contractorsto provide local references and find outif those customerswere satisfiedwith thework performed. If possible, visit a com-pleted project to inspect the quality ofworkmanship.A legitimatecontractorwillbe happy to provide youwith references.

■ Check licensing. Licensing require-ments vary depending onwhere you live.Before you hire a contractor, ask to see astate or county issued license. Contactthe State Contractors Licensing Board(https://www.myfloridalicense.com/)and/or your local countyContractors Li-censingBoard to findoutwhat’s requiredfor the scopeofworkyour contractorwillbeperforming. InLeeCountyvisit http://www.leegov.com/gov/dept/dcd/Permit-ting/ContLicensing/Pages/Search.aspxand in Collier County visit http://www.colliergov.net/Index.aspx?page=3363.Note: An occupational license or Busi-

ness TaxReceipt does not qualify an indi-vidual to act as a contractor.

■ Beware of high up front fees.Con-tractors may require a down paymentbefore work begins, but it should notbe a significant portion of the total cost.Instead, make payments that align withthe progress of the work completed.

Make sure you are satisfied with thework before making a final payment.Never pay in cash. Instead, use a creditcard in case an issue arises.

■ Review your contract thoroughly.Make sure it includes all of thematerialsneeded to complete the job, an itemizedlist of all costs involved, any subcontract-ed labor and awarranty for all work per-formed. Consider having a trusted friendor relative review the contract with you.After your project is complete donot signoff thatwork is completeduntil allwork isfinished according to your contract, andthe contractor has cleared all permitswith final inspection approval from thebuilding department.

■ Verify insurance coverage. Findout if the company is insured againstclaims coveringworkers’ compensation,property damage and personal liabilityin case of accidents. Verify coverage di-rectlywith the business’ insurance com-pany if possible.

IN THEMIXEL DORADONEIGHBORHOOD OUTOF PROPOSED ESTERO

LOCAL NEWS12A Saturday, November 23, 2013 the-banner.com

By Maryann BatlleStaff

Estero leaders decided to oblige a communitythat did not want to be a part of their plans toincorporate.But while the residents of residents of ElDorado Acres, a subdivision located off Co-conut Road in south Lee County, got what

they wanted, the future for their neighborhood isstill uncertain.Residents presented state lawmakers with a petitionsigned by 186 people from that community who areagainst joining the proposed village of Estero.ElDorado residents argued their neighborhood is dif-ferent from the Mediterranean-style architecture andgated communities that exist in much of what wouldbecome Estero.“People, they come in here and they go, ‘Oh my god,it’s not gated. They have boats in their front yard,’” saidKimberlyMacLaren, president of ElDorado’s voluntarycommunity association.The Estero Council of Community Leaders, a grassroots group leading the push to get incorporation on theNovember 2014 ballot, said it recently held a meetingwith El Dorado residents to discuss the issue.

After themeeting, the ECCL agreed to cut El Doradoout of Estero.The community is nowa rectangle-shapedisland in the southwest corner of the village’s multicol-ored district map, which means El Dorado gets to staypart of unincorporated Lee County.“Theywill be like an enclavewithin the community,”saidMarilyn Edwards, a spokeswoman for the ECCL.MacLaren said the weeks of back and forth have ledto a victory, albeit one with caveats.“I feel reallygood thatwe’veaccomplished thisportionof it, but there is still more … that we are going to havetowatch just tomake sure that we are secure,” she said.MacLarenhas concerns about howgarbage collectionand other services would work inside of her neighbor-hood should Estero incorporate because the neighbor-hood would be surrounded by the village.Another factor that could affect El Dorado Acres isan annexation vote the city of Bonita Springs scheduledto take place in February in Pelican Landing and TheColony, communities on the south sideofCoconutRoad.Right now, Estero leaders have included those neigh-borhoods in their proposedmap.But if PelicanLanding andTheColony join the city ofBonita Springs, El Dorado Acres would be surroundedby the village of Estero on three sides and not four.MacLaren said she andotherElDorado residents have

to keep an eye on the Pelican Landing vote and on theEstero incorporation referendum to better understandthe fate of their own neighborhood.“Everything is going to be sitting and waiting,”she said.TheEstero incorporation referendumstill has severalhurdles to cross before it can get to voters.Estero leaders will present their updated map, theirdraft government charter and other information beforeLee County’s local state delegation at a Dec. 3 meeting.Itwill be held from9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in theNursingBuild-ing AA, Room AA-177, at Edison College, 8099 CollegeParkway, Fort Myers.The six-member local delegation has to give approvalto a local bill before the referendum canmove on to thestate Legislature. Rep. Ray Rodrigues, R-Estero, has al-ready said he plans to sponsor the bill.If the local bill makes it through the Legislature andis signed by Gov. Rick Scott, voters would answer theEstero incorporation question in November 2014.Though MacLaren said the political boundaries re-main uncertain, El Dorado Acres residents are consid-ering how and when to celebrate what they’ve accom-plished so far.“We really do deserve to have a big wham bam,”she said.

TheFlorida Fish andWildlifeConservationCom-mission (FWC), at its meeting Nov. 20 in Weston,presented a position paper designed to help guideEverglades restoration.Thepositionpaperprovidesguidanceonhowtore-solvehabitat andwildlife issuesas theFWCandpart-nerswork togetheronEverglades-restorationefforts.This document is an important tool for managingthe habitats and species in this complex ecosystem.In the position paper, FWC biologists providescience-based information regarding the timing,distribution and flow of water throughout the Ev-erglades ecosystem. It also provides data collectedover the past 60 years demonstrating how fluctuat-ing water levels impact the wildlife and habitats inthis ecosystem.“It’s all about the quality, quantity, timing anddis-tribution of water,” said FWC Commissioner RonBergeron. “Our approach is adaptive and based onsix decades of in-the-field science.”Extremehigh and lowwater events negatively im-pact the ecosystem’s nativewildlife andhabitats. For

example, extremehighwater levels are detrimentalfor terrestrial species such as panthers, deer, bob-cats and raccoons. High water conditions reducethe amount of available food sources and indirectlymay lead to the spread of disease. Extremely lowwater levels can also have negative impacts suchas peat fires that can cause long-lasting damage totree islands and other plant communities. Return-ing the water flow back to a more natural state willhave positive impacts for native plants and animals.“Weneedflexibility indealingwithextremehighorlowwater events because eithermeans sudden deathfor the Everglades ecosystem,” said Bergeron. “Weneed to have the tools and policies to manage emer-gencywatereventsso thatwecankeeptheEvergladesaliveduringthe largest restorationeffort in theworld.”FWCstaffwill continue toprotectfishandwildliferesources byparticipating in planningmeetings andproviding comments, review and input into futuredecisions about Everglades restoration.To learn more about the FWC’s major wildlifemanagement area in this ecosystem, the Evergladesand Francis S.

COVER STORY

HANUKKAH AND THANKSGIVINGTOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME

By Laura GatesBanner Correspondent

Hanalie Treiber’s traditional Thanksgiving din-ner will need a makeover this year. Instead ofbasting in its own juices, she’s consideringmar-inating the bird inManischewitz kosherwine.

In place of the standard mashed potatoes and gravy,there’ll be latkes (potato pancakes) and apple-cranberrysauce. Her table centerpiece will be a “menurkey.”“We’re going tomake amenorah that looks like a tur-key,” explained Treiber, a member of the Jewish Con-gregation ofMarco Island.It’s time to celebrate.After all, it’s not everyyear anewholiday is born. In fact, “Thanksgivukkah” will comeonly once in a lifetime. The concurrence of Thanksgiv-ing andHanukkahhasneverhappened sinceThanksgiv-ingwas declared a national holiday in 1863. Experts sayit won’t happen again for another 78,000 years.“They’re both about religious freedom,” said RabbiMendy Greenberg of the Chabad Jewish Center of Bo-nita Springs, Estero and Florida Gulf Coast University.“Thanksgiving is about religious freedom in theUnitedStates, andHanukkah is freedomfromtheGreekoppres-sion. They both represent the same idea.”Greenberg said he is glad the two holidays coincidethis year because it gives Jews an opportunity to sharethemessageofHanukkahwithout it beingovershadowedby the commercialization of Christmas.“People are really talking about it,” he said. “It givesmoreattention towhat theholiday represents. It remindsus how everything comes fromGod.”Hanukkah is known as the Festival of Lights and isobserved for eight days to commemorate the rededi-cation of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem following theMaccabean Revolt in the second century B.C. The Jew-ish army, known as the Maccabees, needed to light themenorah with pure olive oil, but they only had enoughfor one night.The miracle of Hanukkah was that the oil lasted foreight days, just enough time to procure more oil, ex-plained Rabbi Amos Chorny of Beth Tikvah of Naples.The date for Hanukkah varies each year because itfollows the Hebrew calendar, which is a lunar calen-dar. It’s 11 days short of the Gregorian calendar basedon the cycles of the sun. This year is a leap year forthe Hebrew calendar, but the leap doesn’t happen untilspring, thusmovingHanukkah ahead by about 22 days,Chorny explained.Although he doesn’t care for the “Thanksgivukkah”moniker, he says his congregants are having fun withthe Thanksgiving Daymenu.“I’ve heard people say they’re going to combine thetwo andmake sweet potato latkes,” Chornymused.

Online retailers are selling Thanksgivukkah cards,apparel and decorations. There are Thanksgivukkahsongs and plenty of crossover recipes like green beancasserolewith schmaltz (chicken fat) andgribenes (friedchicken skin), and jelly doughnuts filledwith cranberrysauce or pumpkin pie filling.The combined holiday doesn’t affect Jews anywhereelse in the world because Thanksgiving is a uniquelyAmerican celebration.“Families celebrate both holidays primarily in theirhomes,” Chorny said. “There is absolutely no reason tochange anything, just add to it.”BethTikvahwill have its communalmenorah lightingon the last day of Hanukkah, Dec. 4. Chabad is hostingits 10th annual publicChanukah celebration atCoconutPoint Mall the first day of the Festival of Light, whichis the day beforeThanksgiving. So formany SouthwestFloridians, next week might bring a public menorahlighting on Wednesday, turkey and latkes at home onThursday, then back to the mall for all the hoopla ofBlack Friday shopping.“It’s a very fun time,”Greenberg said of theChanukahcelebration at the mall.He’s expectingacrowdofbetween300and500peoplefor the 5:30 p.m. event, featuring a giant menorah light-ing, traditional Israeli foods, live music, crafts and aChanukah puppet show.Making themessage ofHanukkahpublic is importantto Jews, he said. In addition to the Coconut Point event,Chabadwill have its first publicmenorahon the campusof Florida Gulf Coast University, alongwith amenorahat U.S. 41 and Old U.S. 41 in Bonita.“The idea of Hanukkah has always been publicity ofthe miracle,” Greenberg explained. “When a miraclehappens, it’s not somethingwe should keep toourselves.It shows how miracles could happen to anyone. WehaveGod-given potential and all we need to do is ignitethat light.”Alison Calder of Estero will be celebrating thecombined holiday with family. She said she likeshavingHanukkah at Thanksgiving rather than lumpedin with Christmas. She will get to see her nieces andnephews open their Hanukkah gifts, and her owntwo boys won’t be inundated with new toys all atonce, since her husband is Christian and his familycelebrates Christmas.Treiber is planning aThanksgiving feast for 22 at herMarco Island home, and not everyone will be Jewish.She said she’s looking forward to lighting the candlesand wishing everyone happiness, luck, good fortuneand health.“It just seems to coincidewithThanksgiving,which Ithink is good,” she said. “It’s not going to happen againfor 70,000 years.”

LEGENDLOST

It was more usual than not to find local legend Allen Christ or “Gator” as he was referred to by most, perched at theend of the bar at Buffalo Chips in Bonita Springs in 2006. Christ was a local fixture since 1962 when horses stillmade their way down Tamiami trail to the local watering hole, The Dome.

Allen “Gator” Christ hanging out with friendsat Buffalo Chips in 2000.

By Laura GatesBanner Correspondent

They called him Gator. Like his reptilian name-sake, Allen Christ, Jr., liked to keep to himself,but he was always there, watching the peoplecome and go.

Gator was a fixture in Bonita Springs, beloved of allwho frequented Buffalo Chips Restaurant on Old 41,where he worked and lived for more than two decades.He died Nov. 11 at the age of 73 in his apartment atRanch House Motel, right next to the back entrance ofBuffalo Chips. The restaurant’s workers, regular cus-tomers and even tourists liked to stop by to greet thisBonita Springs legend.He wore his dark hair long andwas never seen with-out his cowboy hat and boots. His down-home, Cajunaccent endeared him to folks, said BuffaloChipsOwnerAl Greenwood.“He was very colorful, you know, everybody likedhim,” saidGreenwood,whowasoneof the fewwhoknewGator’s real name.WhenhefirstmetGator 30 years ago,Gator had a shoulder length mullet, but by the time ofhis death, his hair had grown past his waist.“I don’t remember Gator ever getting a haircut in 30years,” Greenwood said. “I offered many times to takehim for a haircut, but he refused.”Gator grew up in the bayous of Baton Rouge, La.,where he developed his love of reptiles. He was raisedby his father after his mother died in childbirth whenGatorwas seven.The twowerehunting andfishingbud-dies, and hung out in the bars together from the timeGatorwas six, he toldTheBanner for a July 2011 featureon the Bonita icon.Gator moved to Bonita Springs in 1962, working as ahorticulturist at a local nursery before going towork atBuffalo Chips in 1990 doing general maintenance andlandscaping work.Hehadapenchant for raisingbabygators andkeepingthem as pets until they got too big for his bathtub.“He kept gators for 10 or 15 years before he got turnedin for harboring an endangered species,” Greenwoodrecalled. “It was fun because he would carry aroundan alligator. He fed them hamburgers; he’d make littlemeatballs out of them and pop them in their mouth.”Gator liked to amuse tourists with his gator calls andtricks. Buffalo Chips cook and longtime friend HankJones remembers Gator walking his little alligator on adog leash and tossing beer cans into a kiddie poolwherethe gator would pop them in its mouth.Greenwood remembers another trick: “He wouldput a cigarette in its mouth, which is probably nottoo good for the endangered species, but it was goodfor photo shoots.”

WhileGatorwas gregarious in his early days, he keptmostly to himself as he got older, his friends said. He’dsit on a plastic lawn chair on his patio—cigarette in onehand and a beer in the other — just watching the feralcats, flitting birds and busy people.“He was kind of a lone wolf,” said Tina Beckett, whoformerly worked at Buffalo Chips with her Uncle Al.She’s knownGator for about 30 years. “Heworked, hadhis happy hour beers, went to bed early and got up atthe crack of dawn.”Before retiring in 2005,Gatorwould start hisworkdayat BuffaloChips around 5:30 a.m., Greenwood recalled.He ended his day in the early afternoon and spent therest of his evening in “his” seat at the corner of the bar.“If he came in after work and someone was sittingin his seat, he was upset,” Greenwood said. “He usedto sit right next to them until they moved, and then hegot in his seat.”Gator joked that when he died, they should stuff himand sit him in his favorite barstool. Instead, his “family”

at BuffaloChips is holding amemorial gathering on thepatio Tuesday night from 5-7 p.m.Although he once told The Banner he had a coupleof grown kids, his friends don’t know their names andnever recall any visits from family. His obituary states:“He is survived by his many friends and acquaintancesat Buffalo Chips.”“When you see a guy every day for over 20 years, youget pretty close,” Greenwood said.Jones lived next door toGator for 15 years and said allhe knewwas Gator said he had a son.“I usually would sit outside with him and we wouldbarbecue and tell a few jokes,” Jones recalled. Gatorwould light his grill to burn wood covered in barbecuesauce, saying, “Ain’t that a good smell?”Gator also loved going fishing with his buddies andtaking care of stray cats. His presence will be missedaround Buffalo Chips.“Oncehe landed atBuffaloChips, he foundhis home,”Beckett said.

Several years ago, after huntingdeerwithmy fatherfromdawnuntil dusk in a coldNovemberWiscon-sin drizzle, Dad and I returned right at sunset tothe screenedporchof the cottage to swapourguns

forfishing rods.Without evengoing inside,we joinedmybrother and a few other men and walked the mile or soto the Petenwell Flowage,wherewe set up on the beachto fish for walleyes through the night.We built a fire on the beach and cooked some peppersteak, then slumbered through the night on the dampsand, wrapped in ponchos to keep the drizzle at bay.Asdawnneared,wehoofedback to thecabin, droppedoff our fishing gear and picked up our guns for anotherday hunting deer in the woods.At the end of that day, we rejoined back at the cabin,where I said toDad, “Youknow, I think that’s the longestI’ve ever spent outside at a stretch.”“Huh,” Dad said. He seemed surprised.“No, I’ve spent weeks camping and all,” I said. “Wil-derness canoe trips in Canada in the summer— thingslike that. But therewas always a tent somewhere tuckedinto a 24-hour period. I mean, I think that’s the longestI’ve gone without even a bit of canvas over my head. Inthe rain. In the cold. Forty hours or so.”“Huh,” he said again.That wasDad. He had plenty to say that could trumpany adventure you might propose. But he wouldn’t sayit unless you asked.I took the bait. “Why?” I asked. “What’s the longestyou’veeverspentoutdoorswithoutevenatent forshelter?”He shrugged. “I don’t know,” he said. “Six weeks.Maybe longer.”Of course. DuringWorldWar II, he had been a gruntstationed in New Caledonia, just east of Australia andsouth of Guadalcanal, fighting the Japanese. He hadserved in the Army five years altogether, including astretch thatwas almost finishedwhen thewarbrokeout.“Outside the whole time?” I asked. “Not even apup tent?”He snorted a laugh. “No tent,” he said. “A hole, some-times, if we were lucky and had the time to dig one. Ora tree trunk. A poncho under us if it was dry. Over usif it rained.”Maybe it was the guns in our hands that had loos-enedhismemories, for itwas about asmuch asDad ever

shared with me about his experiences in the war. Likea lot of other veterans, he spoke little of the nightmareof those years and then only grudgingly. He felt it wasbest, I guess, to leavehell behindwithout a secondglanceback. Consider Lot’s wife, who was turned to salt witha twist of her head for one last glimpse of the madnessshe left behind.Dad has been dead for nearly 20 years, but this Vet-erans Day, I remembered that discussion with himas I read “Helmet for My Pillow” by Robert Leckie,who served at Guadalcanal in conditions that had to

be identical to those my father met. Although I neverserved in the military, every year on Veterans Day Imake a point of reading a book written by or aboutour veterans, as a small way to remember and honortheir sacrifice.And because Leckie’s book sounds a lot like the littleI know about Dad’s hitch in the Army, it hit home withme in a way that few other books have.Though Leckie met with plenty of furious combataction and performed feats that were heroic, thosescenes play only a small part in his book. Rather,he recounts in vivid detail the day-to-day life of an

island-hopping Marine with more enemies to battlebesides Japanese soldiers.The choking jungle. The blazing heat. The chill rainfor weeks on end.The scorpion in the food crate. The snake under theblanket. Themosquitoes everywhere.Malaria. Blisters. Skin peeling from feet that arenever dry.The choice between sleeping in a hole filling withwater or crawling onto higher ground where a bulletmight find you.I remember Dad talking about those things when Iwas a child, for I was born less than three years afterthewar’s end, and thememorieswere still fresh to him.But blisters andmuddy holes are not the kind of thing achild wants to hear about.No, Iwanted tohear about the explosions, the rockets,the flares, the heroism of hand-to-hand combat.Dad experienced plenty of those things, too. But hespoke little of them.In time, even Dad’s tales of everyday grunt gripestrailed off. He left the war behind.I was in my 40s when Dad died. As an adult, I shouldhave sat him down and insisted that he tell me more. Ishould havewritten it all down,word forword. I shouldhave helped himpublish his story for his grandchildrenand great-grandchildren to read.But I didn’t. Life got in theway.My life.Myeasy, care-free life that hewent to war in order to guarantee that Iwould never have to spend a night without a roof overmy head, except by choice.If Dad were here today, I would beg him to tellme his story, if not of the bombs and bullets, thenat least of the bugs and blisters. I would apologizeto him for waiting so long to ask about somethingso important.Dad would smile at my apology and say, “Huh.”Because that is what heroes do.

It was just before dawnrecently on a long, darkstretch of interstate high-way. Iwas returning homefrom an overnight trip toanother town.Accustomed to pre-dawn travel, Iwasmindfulof the darkness, the roadahead, my speed (and oc-casionally heavy foot). Iwas still tired from thelong day before.Had I glanced away formere seconds, I might notbe able to write this.A brief reflection quickly morphedinto a car straddling the highwaydirectlyahead.Slowing as fast as I couldwithout risk-ing a spin, I stopped mere feet from thecrashed vehicle. Thankfully, there wasno one behindme. I pulled off the road.I was first on the scene of a serious ac-cident into which I had very nearly justplowed.Turning on flashers, getting out of mycar, I looked for oncoming traffic, othercrashed cars, or (shuddering) bodies.“Are youOK?” I shouted, approachingthe single car in the profound silence.“Yeah,” came the subdued voice someseconds later.I could barelymake out the tall, youngAfrican-American man, half-straddlingthe passenger seat, struggling to extracthimself from the crushed car.The severe impact nodoubt totaled thecar. Shardsof glass andmetalwere every-where, the entire front bumper ripped toshredsnearby.Deployedairbagsprobablysaved his life on the driver’s side, whileimpeding his exit on the passenger’s.“How did this happen?” I thought, thedamage suggesting another vehicle, but Icouldn’t see one in the darkness.Suddenly, lights in the distance. It wasSunday with little traffic, but cars werecoming.Oddly I thought, “I hope they aren’ttexting.”

Standing in the middleof the darkened interstatenext to a totaled car witha victim half inside, whatto do?Thoughts flashed inmymind.He was conscious,mobile.Get him out of the roadto safety.Flag down traffic toavoid a massive pileup.“Are you alone?”“Yeah,” he groaned,peeling himself out of the

mangled car.“I need tofindmyphone,” hemumbled,leaning back inside, unaware of his pre-carious position.“What’s your name?” I asked, trying tofocus his attention onme.“Jarvis,” he replied. “I need to start call-ing people.”“Jarvis,” I gently approached, “Weneedto get to the shoulder. You could be hurtworse if those oncoming cars don’t seeyou and run into your car. You can usemy phone.”Gently leaning him against my car, Iretrievedmy phone.“I don’t remember the numbers,” inshock, he wobbled back toward the de-stroyed vehicle.“Jarvis, justwait. I’ll get it for you,” de-laying as best I could. “I need to diverttraffic first.”Dialing 911 as I retrieved a flashlightfrom my trunk, another vehicle skiddedup behind us. As luck would have it, shewas a nurse (angel!) on her way to work!Getting our location from her GPS,I called 911 as we waved traffic aroundhis car.She kept her eye on Jarvis, I kept mineon the highway.The sky was getting lighter as, afterseveral dropped calls, I reported to the911 operator.Midway in the call, I noticed anoth-er vehicle a hundred feet away in the

water-filled median. A dim figure strug-gled to get out.“AREYOUOK?THERE’SANOTHERCAR INTHEMEDIAN!” I shouted at thedriver and into thepoor911 operator’s ear.“YES,” he shouted back, crawling ontothe hood to get out of the water.“HEHITME!”“ARE YOUHURT?”“NO,” but again, “HE HIT ME!” ina voice stoked with adrenaline.Thankfully, neither driver appearedseriously injured, although Jarvis wasbleeding, confused and covered withshards of glass and soon favoring hisshoulder.Other cars stopped to aid, and thank-fully traffic diverted until state troopersand EMS arrived 30minutes later.Jarvis recalled a phone number. Noanswer.“Jarvis, I want you to call me tonightand let me know how you are,” I said,handing him my card as EMS preparedto take him away.He was 28. At about 6 foot 3 inchesand 230 pounds, reaching up to hug himwas challenging, but I managed as hethanked me profusely for my help. Aslarge as he was, at that moment he wasjust a boy.Driving away, I realized I shouldn’t.Pulling off thehighway a fewexits ahead,I ordered breakfast and a strong cup ofcoffee to quench the adrenaline. CallingJarvis’s phonenumberoncemore, Ifinallyreached his sleepy girlfriend who wouldrush to meet him at the hospital.I’m trained in basic life support for

professionals. I’m a CERTmember withadditional training in early response todisaster. I know first aid, CPR, AED andcivilian emergency assessment.But that incident reinforced the factweare never truly prepared until we PRAC-TICE our skills.What I’d do differently:

1. Have a very large flashlight insteadof the small, so-called “high-intensity”flasher. Mine worked, but a bigger one(better yet 2) would be better;2.Fresh highwayflares inmyemergencykit;3. Better awareness of precise location.GPS booted up, ready to locate. Opera-tor 911 was unable to secure our locationby cell signal. I hadn’t noted the highwaymarkers in passing.4. Focus my car’s headlights from theshoulder of the road, directly upon thecrashed vehicle.5.Have cellphone in hand getting out ofthe car, in case of severe injuries.6. Pray hard that cars approaching arepaying attention to the road.(NOTEXTING!)Had I arrived 15 seconds sooner orglanced away for mere seconds, I’d havebeen among the injured instead of thehelpers.I was glad Jarvis did call that night.I’d thought about him all day. Heseemed surprised that I rendered aid.As many times as he thanked me, Iimagined what might have happenedin his young life to fill him with suchsurprise at my actions.I thanked him, too. It was a lesson inwhat to do better next time.Indeed, it’s a lesson for us all.

Asa long-distancecare-giver, you probably oftenfeel like you’re in thedark.Youcall andcall your carerecipientandthere’snoan-swer.You’re the caregiver,and you don’t want “any-thing bad” to happen onyourwatch. How often doyou learna fewhours laterthat Mom or Dad was outvisiting a friend and “for-got” tomention it to you?Here’smy list of the topsix things long distancecaregivers need to know.1.Silence isn’t always golden, but it’s notalways a crisis either: Just because yourcare recipient goes “off thegrid” for a fewhours (or days) doesn’t necessarilymeanthat heor she is lying injuredorworseonthe bathroomfloor. If you can, have yourcare recipient agree to call you everydayat the same time, no matter where he orshemightbe. Ifmemory issuesmake thatapproachachallenge, considerenlistinga“friendlyvisitor” to stop indaily andsendyou a quick text or email that all is well.Call the local police department (non-emergency number please) and find outhow to request a well-being check.2. It’s not what you hear, it’s what yousee: Long-distance caregivers are fa-miliar with hearing that everything is“fine” (or conversely, that it’s awful). Aswith silence, you can’t always takewhatyour care recipient tells you at face val-ue. There is no substitute for making avisit.Don’t forget toopen the refrigeratorand pantry and check for no food (or oldfood).Check formail piledupunopened.Check for medication compliance. Talkto the neighbors. If you can’t make thisvisit, perhapsyoucanenlist another fam-ily member or friend to do so.3. What you see isn’t always what youget: Justbecause thehome isneat and tidyand the fridge is full of good fooddoesn’tmean it always looks like this.Veryoften,care recipients don’twant toworry theircaregivers or be a burden, so they are on“goodbehavior” inadvanceof andduringa visit. If you suspect this might be thecase, consider making an unannouncedvisit. You might find that your care re-cipient has literally swept the true state

of affairs under the rug!4.A go-to “owner’s man-ual” is the single mostimportant resource: Wehave owner’smanuals forour cars and dishwashers— why not for ourselves?If you are a long-distancecaregiver, the singlemostimportant resource youcan have is an owner’smanual for your care re-cipient’s life. I call this alife transition plan. If youare interested in learningwhat should be included

in such a plan, please dropme an email [email protected]’llbehappy to email youmy free guide.5. Be specific in your requests for help:Whetheryouarecaregiving fromnearorfar, it’s natural to become overwhelmedand frustrated.While a nearby caregivercan “show” someoneelsewhat theyneeddone, a long distance caregiver usuallyhas to “tell.”Many long-distancecaregiv-ers make the mistake of requesting thatsomeone “look in onMom,” for example,and then are frustrated when they asktheir surrogate eyes a question that per-sondoesn’t knowtheanswer to.Wouldn’tit be better to ask the nice neighbor tostopbyandsayhi toyourMomandchecktherefrigerator to see if there is fresh fruitand vegetables and to then call or emailyouwith their findings?6.Communication is key: Themost im-portant lesson long-distance caregiversshare with me is that striving for excel-lent communication solvesmany issues.Caregivers must have open channels ofcommunication with their care recipi-ents whenever possible so that no onemakes assumptions.While the above points apply nearlyuniversally to long-distance caregiversthey make sense for all caregivers. Thebest caregiving journey is onewhere thecaregiver is able to keep their care recipi-ent safe and as independent as possible.Remember, all you can do as a caregiveris your best.

area, a quick soak in vinegar will removeboth odor and bacteria. If sweat stains areleft behind, then soak in straight ammoniainstead. It may take an hour or more, de-pending on the heaviness of the stain.

The Small Plate DietI found some inexpensive dinner plates

at a thrift store that were smaller than ourregular ones. My husband and I are eatingsmaller portions, which is good for thewaistline and our budget.

Why Twice?All shampoo bottles say to wash your

hair once and then repeat washing again.Sure, that’s great for them. Using moreshampoo empties the bottle sooner. I havebeen shampooing only once for the last sixmonths, and my hair turns out just as clean!Of course, the bottle lasts twice as longand so does my money.

M.

Puppy AccidentsIf you are potty training a puppy or your

dog has an accident, take several sheetsof newspaper and place them over the wetarea. Stand on top of the paper to use yourweight as pressure to extract the urine fromthe carpet. As the newspaper you are usingbecomes saturated, use new pieces. Usu-ally it only takes two bunches of paper. Thenewspaper absorbs the wet so well that youwill have trouble finding the spot! This alsoworks well for any other sort of wet spill!

Cheap ExerciseThere are many things around the house

that make good exercise equipment. Theeasiest are right in your pantry! Use one-or two-pound cans as weights until they

become too easy to lift. You’ll know they’retoo easy when you can do 15 reps withouta problem. Use your staircase as a stairstepper and for other exercises to build upleg muscles. Put a large towel on the floorto use as a mat for floor exercises.To build exercise into your daily routine,

forget about being efficient. Be effectiveinstead! Park your car at the far end ofparking lots. You won’t miss the extra twoor three minutes you use to get to the doorof the store, but you’ll see the difference inno time. Go up and down the stairs at homefrequently. Wash your own car. Clean yourown house. Till your own garden, and shovelyour own walks and driveway.All of these activities and many others

around the house qualify as exercise. Theyreally make a difference. I’ve lost and keptoff over 85 pounds, going from size 16-18to size 4, doing all these things. I also walkaround the neighborhood and to nearbystores. I even walk to some of the schoolswhere I substitute teach.

RememberthewivesSo here we go again.The career of another popular and respected femalemedia personality is torpedoed by the acts of her hus-band. AmyWegmann (Radel) took herself off the air topermit Trey Radel to run for office.And does anyone remember Jessica Stilwell whosepromisingTVcareerwas alsodestroyedby the criminalacts of her husband?What’s wrong with this picture? Why are these ca-pable and talented women derailed and suffering lossof employment due to the fact that theymarried jerks?Amy and Jessica: You go, girls!

P.T. HAMILTON | Bonita Springs

Too easyThe phrase “I have hit bottom” is to easy to say.It is coached in all rehabilitation treatments.Trey Radel should never again represent SouthwestFlorida.Recall if no resignation!

DAVE MCKIM | Bonita Springs

Words live onI was 12 years old when the principal came over thepublic address system to announce that President JohnF. Kennedy had died.That day everyone’s life changed.We all becamepas-sionate over what could have been. Even though Ken-nedy died that day, his words lived to inspire.“Theworld is very different now. Formanholds in hismortal hands the power to abolish all forms of humanpoverty and all forms of human life. And yet the samerevolutionary beliefs forwhich our forebears fought arestill at issue around the globe—thebelief that the rightsof man come not from the generosity of the state butfrom the hand of God.”We followedhis calling to the PeaceCorps. Todaywevolunteer our generosity to others.“Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well orill, thatweshall payanyprice, bear anyburden,meet anyhardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assurethe survival and the success of liberty.”Wewent towar, whether popular or not, so everyonecould be free.

“In your hands, my fellow citizens, more than mine,will rest the final success or failure of our course. Sincethis countrywas founded, eachgenerationofAmericanshas been summoned to give testimony to its nationalloyalty.”We accepted the obligation to preserve our countryfor our children and grandchildren.We miss the true leadership of a man who not onlyinspired all generations with words, but with achieve-ments.

JEFFREY BROWN | Bonita Springs

Never too lateAddiction is a huge problem for our society.Everyone of us will at one time in our lives knowsomeonewith addiction. Itmay be one of our friends, itcould be a loved one or it could beme or you.Rather than ridicule Trey Radel or judge him as un-worthy, let us wish him a lasting recovery.Recovery will take strength because he will have todeal with this forever.I hope that this can be an opportunity for all of usto educate others about how common this problem is.

I hope Trey and his family come out of this strongerbut it certainly will be very difficult.It is never too late to get help.

PETTALK PETS OF THE WEEK

By Angela G. ClendeninTexas A&M University

Feline calicivirus, or FCV, is a viralinfection causing severe upper respira-tory problems in cats. Entering throughthe cat’s eyes, nose, ormouth, this viruspossesses symptoms similar to that of acommon cold. As loving cat owners, itis important to be well informed of thecauses, symptoms, andpreventionof thisfast-spreading infection to help keep ourfeline friends happy and healthy.Frequently seen in animal shelters orwithin multi-cat homes, the FCV infec-tion is typically spread amongst cats thatare being housed together in large num-bers or kittens with weak immune sys-tems. Once the cat is infectedwith FCV,theymay carry the virus in their bodiesfor life. “Approximately 10% of house-hold cats exhibit this ‘carrier’ state andhave the chance of becoming sick againduring times of stress or other illness,although many will not” said Dr. KathyScott, lecturer at the College of Veteri-nary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.“They may continue to shed the virus,however, puttingother cats they arenearat risk of developing the infection.”Depending on the strain of the virus,infected cats can show a great variety ofsymptoms. Typical symptoms seenwithFCV are similar to an upper respiratoryinfection, involving sneezing, nasal con-gestion, andconjunctivitis,withmore se-vere cases exhibiting lethargy and poorappetite aswell. “Some catswill developsevere gingivitis and oral pain that maybe significant enough to cause the cat tonot eat, while others may demonstratelameness and fever,” Scott said. “Rarely, aseverevariant of calicivirus (calledFCV-associated virulent systemic disease orFCV-VSD) can develop and cause criti-cal illness, multiple organ damage, andeven death.” Luckily, this form is veryrare and outbreaks can be controlledthrough strict isolation and quarantine.Accurate diagnosis will help yourveterinarian provide the best treatmentpossible, and is also important if the in-fected cat lives in amulti-cat household..

To diagnose FCV, the vet will evaluatethe cat’s clinical symptoms andmedicalhistory in addition to laboratory testing.“A swab can be taken of the cat’s mouthor conjunctiva (a thin membrane of theeye), and tested for presence of the virusin those tissues,” Scott said.Unfortunately, the treatment of FCVis challenging. There are currently nomedications to completely eliminatethe virus or eliminate the infection at afaster pace, so the best thing you can dofor your furry friend is to provide themwith the support and care they need tohelp them feel comfortable. Due to theirstuffy noses and possible ulcers in theirmouths, cats with FCV have a tenden-cy to lose their appetite, so it is wise toprovide themwith soft, strong-smellingfoodsorpainmedications thatwillmakeeating more comfortable. “We also rec-ommend keeping their noses clean andsometimes using medications or vapor-izers to help loosen the mucus in theirnoses,making it easier to breathe,” Scottsaid. “In more severe cases, antibioticsmay be needed to stop the growth ofbacteria that have overgrown as a resultof the FCV infection, and if cats haven’teaten inmore than three days, they willprobably require a short period of hos-pitalization to receive fluids and someform of nutrition.”Themost important measure you cantake to reduce the likelihood of your catcontracting FCV is to ensure that theirvaccinations are up to date at all times.“Although there is no vaccination thatprovides 100% protection, there is a vac-cination available for FCV, and it is partof the ‘core’ vaccinations recommendedby veterinarians to all cats,” Scott said.Though vaccinated cats still have achance of becoming carriers if infected,theydohave a lower chanceof spreadingthe infection toother cats than those thatare unvaccinated.

Every year Americans wrestle with yet anotherroundof seemingly evermore complexThanks-giving dilemmas.Cranberry sauce — canned or DIY? Mashed

potatoes with skins or without? And is a potato “ricer”really that much better than amasher?Make the gravy,or just fake it?What about dinner rolls?Will anyone no-tice if you serve store-bought?What if they are organic,whole-wheat store-bought rolls? Ormaybe gluten-free?Andnoneof that evenbegins to address themany tur-key-centric issues. Brine it or rub it with salt? Heirloomor free-range? Both? Roasted, smoked, fried or grilled?Stuffing in or on the side? Speaking of stuffing, is thebagged stuff OK or is it really vital to bake the bread inorder tomake the croutons tomake the stuffing? And ifyou’re already baking, should you make the pies fromscratch, too?All ofwhich can lead you to themost important ques-tion— Is the pizza joint open?This year,mightwe suggest a little less overthinking?Boil some potatoes until they are tender, then smashthem with anything handy. As long as you add gobs ofbutter and milk, they’ll be fine. As for the cranberrysauce, nobody will eat it anyway, so stick with the can.The rolls? Delegate and outsource. Tell relatives that ifthey want a seat at the table, come bearing buns. Nowthe dilemma is their problem.For the turkey, the gravy and the pie problems, wehave you covered with three ridiculously easy recipesthatwill ensure you have a fuss-freeThanksgiving. Forthe gravy, we fake it — with stunning results. For theturkey,we take a just-roast-the-stupid-thing-and-move-on approach. And our apple “pockets” take the pain outof pie baking.That’s right,Thanksgiving reallycanbeasimpleaffair.

BACK-TO-BASICS TURKEYThis turkey is so basic, it calls for just four ingredients andwon’t leave you with any cleanup!

Start to finish: 3 hoursMakes: a 12- to 14-pound turkey

12- to 14-pound turkey1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softenedSalt and ground black pepper2 large heavy-duty disposable roasting pansHeat the oven to 350 F.

■ Remove the giblets and neck from the turkey cavity, ifpresent. Rub the bird all over with the butter, then sprinkleit generously with salt and pepper.■ Stack the disposable roasting pans one inside the other(for greater stability). Arrange the turkey in the roast-ing pan, breast side up. Roast for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Thetemperature of the breast should reach 160 F and thethigh should reach 170 F. If the turkey begins to darken toomuch, place foil over the top.

■ Remove the turkey from the oven and cover with foil, ifnot already covered. Place several towels over the foil tokeep the turkey warm. Let the turkey rest for 15 minutesbefore carving.■ Nutrition information per serving: 450 calories; 220calories from fat (49 percent of total calories); 24 g fat(9 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 200 mg cholesterol; 0 gcarbohydrate; 0 g fiber; 0 g sugar; 55 g protein;360 mg sodium.

Q: What are the bestmedications to help mesleep? I’ve triedall thenat-uralremedies, Ineedsome-thingstronger! —V.E.,Sac-ramento, California

A:Why, as a nation, dowe have trouble sleep-ing? It should be such anatural act. I urge youto find the underlyingcause of your chronicinsomnia and to changeyour sleep habits be-cause you can’t rely onmedication forever.Chronic insomnia may be causedby sleep apnea and sleeping pills inthis case are dangerous. For someof you, a deficiency of your sleephormone, melatonin, causes you towake up very early. The point is thatsleep disorders aren’t always relatedto neurotransmitter imbalances, sosleeping pills are not a ‘wet blanket’like everyone thinks. You can takethem for awhile, but they just maskthe underlying problem. Here are themost popular medications:

■ Ambien (zolpidem) — Introducedin 1992, this helps put you to sleep,and keep you asleep. Many peoplereported having morning groggi-ness, so the makers came out witha controlled-release version in 2005that works longer. Ambien usuallyputs you to sleep within 15 to 30 min-utes. There are other brand namescontaining the same chemical ingre-dients such as a sublingual low-dosetablet called “Intermezzo” that youcan take in the middle of the night.There’s “Zolpimist” an oral spray. Ev-ery now and then you hear a report ofsomeone sleep-driving, having sex,making phone calls, sleep-walkingand cooking meals.

■ Lunesta (eszopiclone) — EverythingI said aboutAmbien applies to this drug,it is similar in mechanism of action, aswell of duration of action.

■ Sonata (Zaleplon) —Again, similar to Am-bien, however, it has avery short duration ofaction. The advantage isyou won’t have morninggrogginess, however thedisadvantage is you maybe staring at the alarmclock by 3 a.m.

■Rozerem (Ramelteon)— This is my favoritesleepmedicationbecauseit affects your melatoninreceptors, increasing the

length of time you sleep. You can startand stop as often as youwish, since thereisnophysical dependence.Thedrugmayaffect prolactin and testosterone levels,so if you use it long-term (greater than 3or4months), have these levels evaluated.

■ Silenor (Doxepine)— Introduced in2010, this medication blocks histaminereceptors. It contains the same active in-gredient as a popular antidepressant, butin a much lower dose. I like that it doesnot have addictive potential.

■ Benzodiazepine drugs (temaze-pam, alprazolam, clonazepam, loraz-epam and others) — Very affordable,and used for decades, these drugs havestrong addictivepotential andmaycausedaytimedrowsiness.This categoryhelpswith some seizures.

Insurance companies may have re-strictions on which sleeping pills arecovered, andwill obviously expect youto buy generic; they often require you totry other approaches to your insomniafirst.

Early detection andtreatment is the key tobest outcomes for mostmedical conditions.With breast cancer,mammography is the keyto early detection. Be-causebreast cancer is oneof the primary diagnosesunder the Lee MemorialHealth System health in-surance plan and mam-mography is such a vitaland lifesaving test, wefelt it was appropriate torequire all women—em-ployees and spouses—40 years of ageand older, who have not had a baselinescreeningmammogram, tohaveonedonein order to qualify for themost competi-tiveandaffordable insurancerates.Some-times, requirements elicit reactions.Lynn Olson, RN, clinical educator atLee Memorial Hospital, admits she wasa bit annoyed when she found out thatshe was required to get a mammogram.“I was a little frustrated that I was be-ing ‘told’ to have a mammogram,” shesays. “After all, I amanurse and I do self-breast exams (SBEs). But,wanting to en-joy the full extent of our benefits, Imadean appointment atCapeCoralHospital.”A week later, Lynn received a phonecall from her doctor saying she needed

toschedule follow-up test-ing—anodulewasdetect-ed on themammogram.“Of course, beingscared to death, I imme-diately called to make anappointment,” Lynn says.“ThewomenatCapeCor-alHospitalwerewonder-ful—they got me in thenext day, showed me theresults from the first testandexplainedeverythingto me, every step of theway. When I left the sec-ond time, I felt secure that

while the ‘official’ reportwasn’t final, thechance of the nodule being cancer wasextremely low. I received thefinal reportviaphoneonaMonday—ascant fewdaysafter the test.”We understand Lynn’s initial frustra-tion and appreciate her candor andwill-ingness to share her story.As health careprofessionals, we know our team mem-bers know the value of early detectionand treatment—we all just sometimesneed a reminder to make our health apriority.Our goal and intention is to helpensureour teammembers remainstrong,healthy caring people, caring for people.To learn more about Lee Memorial

Pumpkin latkes with spiced cranberry sour cream.

Pumpkin turns theselatkes intowinnersBy Alison LadmanAssociated Press

Potato latkes may be the best-known variety of thiscrispy staple of Hanukkah meals, but don’t feel youneed to limit yourself to them.Though potatoes have their own symbolism in thisJewish holiday, it is the oil used in the frying that isparticularly significant; it symbolizes the long-lastingoil burned in the temple lamps in the story of Hanuk-kah.And that iswhy there are somany latke variations,including sweet potato, onion and carrot.Since the first day of Hanukkah falls on Thanksgiv-ing this year, we decided to draw on a staple of thatall-American holiday to make a delicious variation —pumpkin latkes. We top ours with a cranberry-spikedsour cream, but applesaucewould be just as delicious.

PUMPKIN LATKES WITHSPICED CRANBERRYSOUR CREAMStart to finish: 30 minutesServings: 10

1 cup sour cream1/4 cup finely chopped dried cranberries2 tablespoons packed dark brown sugar1 teaspoon cinnamon1/4 teaspoon nutmeg1/4 teaspoon ground clovesVegetable oil1 medium yellow onion, chopped1 small sugar pumpkin, peeled, seeded and shredded(about 3 cups)2 eggs1/4 cup all-purpose flour1 teaspoon salt1/2 teaspoon ground black pepperToasted pecans, to garnish

■ In a small bowl, stir together the sour cream, cranber-ries, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. Setaside.■ In a medium skillet over medium, heat 1 tablespoon ofvegetable oil. Add the onion and cook until very tender andwell-browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the onion(reserving the skillet) to a medium bowl, and mix in theshredded pumpkin, eggs, flour, salt and black pepper.■ Wipe out the skillet used to cook the onions. Return itto medium-high heat and add 1/4 inch of vegetable oil.Working in batches, scoop the pumpkin mixture by theheaping tablespoonful into the pan, 3 or 4 scoops at atime. Flatten each scoop with the back of the spatulaand cook until browned on both sides and tender at thecenter, about 3 minutes per side.■ Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet todrain. Serve topped with the cranberry sour cream andgarnished with toasted pecans.■Nutrition information per serving: 140 calories; 80calories from fat (57 percent of total calories); 9 g fat(3.5 g saturated, 0 g trans fats); 50 mg cholesterol; 12 gcarbohydrate; 1 g fiber; 7 g sugar; 3 g protein; 220 mgsodium.

Asauce that’sabitThanksgiving,abitHanukkahBy J.M. HirschAssociated Press

With Thanksgiving falling on the first day of Ha-nukkah, I wanted to look forways to blend a little eachholiday at the same table.And it turns out the fruit is a fine place to start. Be-cause cooked fruit enjoys starring roles in both holi-days. ForHanukkah, there often is applesauce, a sweetand refreshing counterpoint to savory, crispy potatolatkes.And forThanksgiving, a dinner spread is incom-pletewithout a sweet and tart cranberry sauce—evenif it’s from a can.These fruits complement one another so wonder-fully, there actually are numerous ways to combinethem.You could chop rawcranberries and apples, thentoss them with sweetened lemon juice, red onion andminced jalapenos for a fresh salsa-like accompaniment.Oryoucould simply combinepeeled apples and freshcranberries and simmer them togetherwith cinnamon,sugar and lemon juice for a sauce that is a little bit apple-sauce, a little bit cranberry sauce.But I decided to go with a skillet sauce. I cut theapples into wedges, then saute them until just barelytender. Then I adddried cranberries because theyhaveagreat contrasting texture. Let thewhole thing cook fora fewminutes, thenfinished itwith crushedpistachios.Great with turkey or latkes.

SKILLET APPLE-CRANBERRYSAUCE WITH PISTACHIOSStart to finish: 15 minutesServings: 6

1 tablespoon butter4 large apples, peeled, cored and cut into 1/2-inchwedges2 tablespoons cider vinegar1/3 cup water2 tablespoons brown sugar1/2 teaspoon cinnamon1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom1 cup dried cranberries1/4 cup crushed toasted pistachios

THANKSGIVING CELEBRATIONS

Pastrami-wrappedbird forHanukkahandTurkeyDay

By Alison LadmanAssociated Press

Pastrami.Horseradish.Matzo. Frying in oil. Allthemakings of a traditional Jewish holidaymeal.But this time, we add turkey, a nod to the first dayof Hanukkah falling on Thanksgiving this year.To keep this lusciously savory dinner on thespeedy side, we started with turkey tenderloins.They cook quickly and you don’t need to worryabout thawing them as you often dowith awholeturkey.We thenwrap the tenderloins in pastrami,coat them inmatzo and fry themuntil crisp on theoutside, but moist and tender inside.The breaded pastramiwrap on the turkey addsa great “skin” to the otherwise simple turkey ten-derloin.Thepickledonionshave a subtle bite fromthe horseradish. Of course, putting this togetherrequires a littlemorehands-on time than throwinga turkey in the oven, but the reward is in the taste.

PASTRAMI-WRAPPEDFRIED TURKEYWITH HORSERADISHPICKLED ONIONSStart to finish: 1 hour (30 minutes active)Servings: 12

For the pickled onions1 cup red wine vinegar1/2 cup sugar2 tablespoons pickling spice2 tablespoons kosher salt1/2 cup prepared horseradish2 medium red onions, thinly slicedFor the turkey:3 pounds turkey tenderloins8 ounces thinly sliced pastrami2 eggs2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard1 tablespoon all-purpose flour1 1/2 cups matzo mealVegetable oil, for frying

■ In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat,combine the vinegar, sugar, pickling spice, salt andhorseradish. Bring to a boil, then add the onions.Return to a boil, cover and remove from the heat.Let sit until cool. The onions can be prepared up to 2days in advance. Store in a covered container in therefrigerator.■ Wrap each turkey tenderloin in several slices ofpastrami, securing them with wooden skewers asneeded.■ In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs,mustard and flour. In a second bowl, spread the mat-zo meal. One at a time, roll each tenderloin in the eggmixture to coat evenly. Transfer to the matzo mealand roll to coat. The tenderloins can be prepared inthis manner up to several hours ahead of time, thencovered and refrigerated.■ When ready to cook, heat the oven to 350 F.In a large, deep saute pan, heat 1/2 inch of oil untilit sizzles when a matzo crumb is dropped into it.One at a time, fry each tenderloin for 5 to 7 minutesper side, or until golden brown all over. Transfer to arimmed baking sheet, then repeat with the remain-ing tenderloins.■ When all of the tenderloins are fried, place themin the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they reach165 F at the center. Serve with the pickled onions onthe side.■ Nutrition information per serving: 270 calories;70 calories from fat (26 percent of total calories); 8g fat (1 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 90 mg choles-terol; 17 g carbohydrate; 1 g fiber; 2 g sugar; 35 gprotein; 440 mg sodium.

Pumpkin honey doughnuts. To help bridge the holidays of Hanukkah and Thanksgiving,this recipe combines the classic fried doughnut from Hanukkah and pumpkin pie fromThanksgiving, into one delicious treat.

Pumpkinpieanddoughnutsaremeant tobe togetherBy Alison LadmanAssociated Press

Hanukkah and Thanksgiving may not coincide veryoften, but these pumpkin honey doughnuts will makeyou wish they did.To help bridge these holidays, we borrowed a classicdessert of each — fried doughnuts for Hanukkah andpumpkin pie for Thanksgiving — and brought themtogether in one delicious mouthful. The result is a ter-rifically moist fried doughnut rich with the flavors ofpumpkin pie. A glaze of cinnamon- and lemon-spikedhoney ties everything together.

PUMPKIN HONEYDOUGHNUTSStart to finish: 1 1/2 hours (45 minutes active)Makes: 3 dozen doughnut holes

2 teaspoons instant yeast3 cups all-purpose flour1/2 teaspoon salt2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice1/2 cup warm water15-ounce can pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)1 egg1/3 cup honey2 tablespoons sugar2 tablespoons lemon juice1 teaspoon cinnamonVegetable oil, for frying

■ In a medium bowl, stir together the yeast, flour, salt andpumpkin pie spice. Stir in the water, pumpkin and egg untila thick, smooth batter forms. Cover with plastic wrap andallow to rest for 45 minutes.■ In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine thehoney, sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon. Bring to a boil andstir well. Remove from the heat.■ In a large, deep skillet over medium-high, heat 1 inch ofoil to 375 F.■ Working in batches, carefully drop the batter by thetablespoonful into the hot oil. A cookie or small ice creamscoop makes this easier. Turning occasionally, fry thedoughnuts until deep golden brown all over and cookedthrough, about 5 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transferthe fried doughnuts to a large bowl. Drizzle the honey syrupover the doughnuts and toss to coat. Repeat with remain-ing doughnuts. Serve immediately.■ Nutrition information per serving: 80 calories; 25 calo-ries from fat (31 percent of total calories); 2.5 g fat (0 gsaturated; 0 g trans fats); 5 mg cholesterol; 12 g carbohy-drate; 1 g fiber; 4 g sugar; 2 g protein; 30 mg sodium.

Afriedholidayappetizer that’sstill healthy

By Sara MoultonAssociated Press

This dish ismy idea of a one-size-fits-all appetizerfor the loomingholidays,whetherwe’re talking aboutHanukkah, Thanksgiving or Christmas.It’s particularly apt for Hanukkah because theeggplant is “fried” in oil— and oil is one of the holi-day’s central symbols. The good news is that theeggplant is pan-fried — not deep-fried — and veg-etarian, so it’s still reasonably healthy. Heck, if youbuilt a bigger version, you could even turn it into avegetarian entree.Buying fresh eggplants is key. Whatever its size— and they range from thin Asian strains to big andbulbous Italian-Americans — an eggplant shouldhave a very shiny skin and be firmand smooth to thetouch.Also, it’s best to cook it as soonaspossible afteryou buy it. Eggplants don’t like the refrigerator; theytend to deteriorate quickly in the cold.I did saltmyeggplant here, butmore forflavor thanany other reason. I definitely didn’t want to extendthe prep time by salting and letting it sit for hours;we’re already spending a lot of time in the kitchencooking for the holidays. I chose small eggplants forthis recipe,mainly because Iwanted one-bite tastes,but also because the skin on the smaller eggplantsusually is more tender. But if all you can find is thelarger guys, just slice them into rounds, then cut therounds into quarters.The eggplant’s blandness makes it a terrific hostfor spices. I went Middle Eastern here, with cumin,smoked paprika and cayenne. But you’re welcometo roll instead with a curry or Cajun mix, or withchopped dried herbs. However you spice it, the rec-ipe’s yogurt-cucumber sauce, which consists of ex-actly three ingredients and requires only 5 minutesto prep, provides a lovely cooling counterpoint.One note about the breading procedure: it’s im-portant to knock off the excess flour, let the ex-cess egg mixture drip off, and to tap off the extrabreadcrumbs. If you don’t, you’ll end up with anover-breaded slice of eggplant and too few crumbs.Breading the eggplant keeps it from absorbing toomuch oil. The end result is wonderfully creamy.Myhusband, no fan of eggplant, scarfed up these tastylittle bites with no complaint.

FRIED SPICEDEGGPLANT WITHCUCUMBER-GARLIC SAUCENo small eggplants at the grocer? About 1/2 pound ofa larger one can be substituted, but you’ll need to cutit differently. Start by cutting the larger eggplant into1/3-inch-thick slices, as directed. Then cut each sliceinto quarters. Proceed as directed in the recipe.

Start to finish: 40 minutes (20 minutes active)Servings: 6

1 small eggplant (1/2 pound and about 2 inches wide),cut crosswise into 1/3-inch-thick slicesKosher salt2 tablespoons all-purpose flour1 teaspoon ground cumin1 teaspoon smoked paprika1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne (to taste)1 large egg1 tablespoon water1 cup panko breadcrumbs2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided2-inch piece seedless cucumber1/2 cup fat-free plain Greek yogurt1 small clove garlic, mincedChopped fresh parsley, to garnish

■ Heat the oven to 350 F. Sprinkle the eggplant sliceslightly on both sides with salt. Transfer to a large colan-der, then set in the sink and let drain for 15 minutes.■ Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine the flour, cum-in, paprika and cayenne. In a second bowl, whisk the eggand water. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.■ Pat the eggplant slices dry. One at a time, dip each slicefirst in the flour, shaking off the excess, then the egg,letting the excess liquid drip off, then the breadcrumbs,knocking off the excess crumbs (they will clump).■ In a large skillet over high, heat 1 1/2 tablespoonsof the oil. Add the eggplant slices, reduce the heat tomedium and cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Flipthe slices, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil andcook until golden on the second side, about 2 minutes.Transfer the slices to a sheet pan. Bake on the oven’smiddle shelf until the slices are tender (a knife will gothrough them easily), about 15 minutes.■ While the eggplant is baking, grate the cucumber onthe coarse side of a grater. In a small bowl, combinethe grated cucumber with the yogurt, garlic and a bitof salt.■ To serve, transfer the eggplant slices to a platter andtop each with a generous spoonful of the yogurt sauce.Sprinkle with parsley.■ Nutrition information per serving: 140 calories; 60calories from fat (43 percent of total calories); 7 g fat(1 g saturated; 0 g trans fats); 30 mg cholesterol; 16 gcarbohydrate; 2 g fiber; 2 g sugar; 4 g protein; 220 mgsodium.

The Estero High School wrestlingteamhas a young roster, alongwith anewcoach— Steven Sentes.Together, Sentes, 31, is looking to cre-ate positive chemistry that will mean asuccessful season.And he has the record to prove it canbe done.He took up wrestling at the age of 4,urged on by his father, Steve Sr., whoalso wrestled.At Fort Myers High School he went tothe state championship three times, plac-ing second, third and fourth. The Wild-cats won the state championship in 1997.He set school records for most pins in aseason and high school career.He gradu-ated in 2000.He moved on to Michigan Universitywhere he had a solid career and set auniversity record for the fastest pin in23 seconds.He joined the Riverdale teaching andcoaching staff in 2005. While there, the2008 team won the state championship.Sentes then moved on to SoutheasternCentral in South Easton, Mass.In 2012 the Boston Globe named himDivision 2 Central Coach of the Year. Healso was named Division 2 Central Sec-tional Coach of the Year by his peers.But it wasn’t Lee County.“I really missed home,” he said. “Lee

County is one of the best places to live, inmy opinion. There is a lot of history herein the sport of wrestling.”TheWildcats have amixof experiencewith four seniors, 11 juniors, 11 sopho-mores and three freshmen.With many young wrestlers, Sentessaid the team’smotto is, “It’s not howyoustart, it is how you finish.”His team leaders are juniorsCodyHar-ris, 113 pounds, andRileyThompson, 190pounds. Bothwon by pins in the openingmatch. Both qualified for regional com-petition last season.Other prospects include senior Da-kota Reisen, 138 pounds, juniors AhmedAbed, 160pounds, andTrentonThrasher,220 pounds.“Wearenot concerningourselveswithdual matches. For this year it is moreabout getting wrestlers ready for a runto the state championships,” Sentes said.TheWildcatswill see strong competitiononSaturday at theFoxboroWrestlingDu-als at Lely High in Naples.
