Page A-2—Seniors Today—September 11, 2015

Each year the heart is filledwith memories of 911 whenterrorists attacked the twintowers of New York. This

year makes the 14th anniversary of thathorrendous day. The feeling is that we,the American people, still don’t and willnever know all that we should aboutwhat led up to that day.

In 2001, a local friend, Ruth, was duehome after a two-week visit with herdaughter in Colorado. She boarded aplane that was to bring her home onTuesday, September 11. About a halfhour into the flight, the pilot spoke tothe passengers: “Ladies and gentlemen,we will be landing in Oklahoma City.”

As Ruth wondered why they wouldbe landing there, she reflected on Okla-homa City and her nephew Robin, thevictim of the earlier bombing in thatcity. Ruth remained unaware of whythey were landing. Some passengerswere making calls on their cell phonesto relatives or friends, gathering bits ofinformation.

After landing, passenger were told totake their luggage and make hotel reser-vations as quickly as possible for theaccommodations were filling up fast.

Television sets on the airport con-course were showing events of themorning—but the minds of the pas-sengers, like the rest of the world,weren’t yet comprehending the enor-mity of the situation.

When Ruth was settled in a hotelroom, she turned on the television andonly then did she realize what was hap-pening. She checked her funds and foundthat, other than credit cards, she had aten dollar bill, two ones, and a coupleof quarters. She would try to make itlast until the next day when, surelyshe would be on her way home.

The usually calm lady had signs ofirritation when buying toothpaste fortwo dollars. The next day she took hertwo quarters down to the newspapermachine and plunked them into theslot, hoping to be able to read about theconditions of the day. The machinewould not open. Aggravated, she hitit. It still did not open. She kept tryingand when she finally started to walkaway, she hit it one more time. Sud-denly, like when a big time gamblerplays the slots, quarters began to flyout of the machine non-stop! She wasfinally able to get her newspaper.

Staying constantly in touch with thosein charge of her life at that time, Ruthlearned they wouldn’t be leaving any-time soon and knew there would betime for her to go see the national

memorial where Robin had lost hislife. She called a local Lutheran Churchto see if they were having a service.When speaking with the pastor, he puther in touch with a lady named Milliewho had information she requestedabout the Oklahoma memorial. Millieoffered to come get her and take her tothe site.

The monuments stood at each endof a reflection pool, marking the spotof the former federal building. Theattendant asked the name of her rela-tive and flipped through her clip board,then led Ruth to his chair.

With a feeling of reverence, Ruthtook in the setting and noticed theopaque chairs were each marked withthe name of the victims of the Okla-homa bombing. The size of each chairwas in keeping with the size of thevictim. Ruth left there feeling that “GodIs My Co-pilot” for had her Tuesdaymorning takeoff plane left Coloradoat a different time, their landing wouldhave been somewhere other than Okla-homa City.

The same day that the twin towerswere hit, a third world trade centerbuilding also came down but no liveswere lost as it had been evacuated intime. Perhaps because of the extent ofthe attack, it seemed to take longer forthe city of New York to come to termswith how to handle things followingthe devastating disaster.

After September 11th, St. Paul’sChapel, the church built in 1766,served as a place of refuge for workersat the site. For nearly a year, volunteersworked around the clock with firefight-ers, construction workers, and others.Though just across from the towers,the church had survived without evena broken window. “Church history de-clares it was spared by a miracle syc-amore on the northwest corner of theproperty that was hit by the debris.” Thetree’s root has been preserved in a bronzememorial by sculptor Steve Tobin.

Fourteen years later, it still seems asthough the fatal fall of the Twin Towershappened only yesterday. Most everyonecan tell you where they were and whatthey were doing on the day when ourworld, as we knew it, changed forever.

September, the last days ofsummer, the beginning ofhibernation, and my birth-day month. There’s some-

thing about a birthday that causes oneto reevaluate life, and that’s not easy.

At best life is temporary and hangsby a thread, but I much prefer to con-tinue madly into the future without anydeep thought that it all might end in ablink. Those of us who are of advancedtick-tocks can appreciate this spinning,fragility of life on the mudball.

With thinking of the future, I can’thelp but think of my grandchildren andI am going to take this opportunity towrite warm, fuzzy stories of grands andgreats and the beautiful moments they’vebrought to our lives. It is also an oppor-tunity to remember the influence thatother generations of grandparents leftas their legacy. We are proof of theirexistence.

Humor and happiness are tonics forwhatever troubles us. While we declaresalvation because of lower gas prices,the rest of the world and many of thoseunder our noses are fighting a war ofsurvival. Though coveted and desirable,and as powerful as positive thinking canbe, sometimes the images seared intoour web-connected brains need to beacknowledged, grieved, evaluated, anddeclared unacceptable.

It’s a crazy planet, so why wouldn’t asane person not want to run away? Somepeople try it on drugs, overspending,multiple partners, mission work, char-itable donations, and baking cookies forschool fund-raisers. We all try in mul-tiple ways to escape reality.

All around me, this second, peopleare trying to make a difference, tryingto spread the good news that it’s okayto be alive, even when life seems ab-surdly unfair. Somewhere a person iscomforting a child whose parent won’tbe coming home. Did you see thepoignant picture of the policeman’s sonwearing a superhero shirt he and hisdad intended to wear together? The boywore his shirt to his father’s funeral.

As I look around our living room, Isee safe, secure, comfortable, calm, yetI feel so guilty and so inadequate. I’vebeen blessed with years on the earth andsometimes I think I’ve nothing to showfor it or maybe it’s more that I feellike I’ve left the world too much likeI found it. This is unacceptable to myconscience. There are so many thingsthat need to be changed, beginning withmyself and continuing throughout theknown world and maybe into space.

While many people pray in theirhome or in a congregation, evil stalksthe streets laughing. Policeman, who areunderpaid public servants, are in dangerof being gunned down. Likewise, groupsof citizen protesters genuinely feel theywear targets on their backs.

As refugees poured into Europe in anitinerary from Hell, one image domi-nated the news. It will never be any-thing except abominable. A three-year-old boy drowned in an attempt to escapedictators and terrorists. The picture of adead child, lying on a beach in Turkeyflashed across the world and became asymbol of all that is wrong and rightabout humanity. The little boy, alongwith his 5-year-old brother, his motherand other family members, drownedwhile challenging open waters in amatchstick raft. Their voyage towardlife ended in death. A photographerrecorded the aftermath as a Turkishsoldier cradled the lifeless 3-year-old,shielding him from becoming anotherpiece of beach debris.

A long time ago, as the Vietnam Warraged, I clipped a newspaper photoand taped it to my office wall. Everycoming and going burned the photo intomy conscience. Remember the brilliantwork that showed a Vietnamese girlrunning from her village, her clothingburned off by napalm? The look ofterror on her face spoke volumes aboutfear, injustice, cruelty, and helplessness.

I know in a period of election thatquestions of future and forward take ongreater impact. The direction of ourcountry is not a sound bite, popularitycontest, or fodder for a Tweet. Ourgrandchildren will benefit from ourcourage or victims of our cowardice.Real simple. Real clear. Real now.

I want everyone’s grandchild to growup in a world that’s safe and sound;where they enjoy carefree days withsand buckets on a beach; where theirworld never witnesses a playmate, life-less and limp, in the arms of a stranger.

Terrible images or dark thoughts, per-haps, or opportunities to become awareof millions in the world who risk deathfor the things we take for granted. Thereare days to focus on blue skies and pup-pies, and there are days to acknowl-edge universal grieving.

Hug your grandchildren. If you don’t

A TributeTo MyParentsSara FoxGallery—House

The start of the school year can bea hectic time for students, par-ents, and drivers. What better timeto remind motorists that you’ll

once again be sharing the roadways withbig, yellow school buses as well as bicy-clists and pedestrians on their way to andfrom campus. More than ever, this is the timeof year when you need to drive cautiously,watch out for children, buses, and crossingguards and obey all rules of the road.

Our goal is to make sure that residentsare putting safety first as they return to theirback-to-school routines. To that end, I’dlike to remind drivers to stop for childrenand crossing guards in crosswalks and bealert for school buses loading and unloadingstudents. To help prevent needless injuries,speed limits in school zones are beingstrictly enforced. Drivers also are encour-aged to exercise an extra dose of patienceand plan for extra drive time to get to theirdestination. Remember that buses will bemaking frequent stops. It’s not only dan-gerous to students, but it’s against the lawto pass a school bus while it’s stopped onthe roadway picking up or dropping offstudents. This applies to traffic going in bothdirections—unless the road is divided bya raised barrier or an unpaved median atleast five feet wide. Deputies have beeninstructed to strictly enforce these statutesand do whatever is necessary to protect ourchildren as well as the motoring public.

Here are some additional safety tips tokeep in mind as you go about your travelsduring this busy time of year:• Drive defensively.• Observe all posted speed limits.• Always anticipate the possibility that a

small child may dart in front of yourvehicle. Be prepared to stop at all times.

• Watch for children walking in the street,particularly in areas where there areno sidewalks.

• Watch for children gathering or playingnear bus stops.

• Be especially careful in areas with parkedvehicles on the side of the road. Chil-dren crossing between vehicles may bedifficult for you to see.

• Be alert for student drivers.• When turning at an intersection, be sure

to yield to pedestrians and cyclists. Theyhave the right-of-way.

• If you drive your children or grandchil-dren to school, drop them off and pickthem up as close to the school as pos-sible. If the school has a drop-off area,be sure to use it.

• Observe these rules of the road and you’llbe doing your part to help keep our streetsand children safe.

Think Alzheimer’s Care is Expensive?… Think Again!


by Sam Mazzotta

Dear Paw's Corner: I was shop-ping recently and noticed a healthy-looking man pushing a cart around thestore with a big dog by his side. Asthey came closer, I saw the dog wason a regular leash and wore an assis-tance dog vest, but the guy didn't lookdisabled. Was he faking it?

—Suspicious In Pittsburgh

Dear Suspicious: No, the man wasnot faking it. I can't emphasize thisstrongly enough, but many people withphysical challenges do not appear,to those who do not know them, tobe challenged.

Service dogs or assistance dogs haveincreasingly become essential compan-ions for people with different kindsand levels of disability. While manyof us are familiar with guide dogs forthe blind, dogs providing other typesof assistance are more prevalent todayas well. They provide everything fromemotional support to actively alertingtheir owners to potential dangers.

For example, many dogs that pro-vide assistance to people with hearing

disabilities are small- to medium-size.Seeing a Chihuahua with an assis-tance vest may be odd to some folks,they are a vital part of that person'sinteraction with the outside world.

Military veterans with injuries rang-ing from PTSD to limb loss, paralysis,traumatic brain injury, or other issuesalso have been greatly helped by assis-tance dogs that provide a varying rangeof services.

for half of us—the female half. Re-searchers concluded that women overage 65 have a greater chance of devel-oping Alzheimer's than men.

There's more: Women who have mildcognitive impairment will see cogni-tion decline twice as fast as men withmild impairment. In clinical trials in atest that rates from 0 to 70, men de-clined at a rate of 1.05 points per year.For women it was 2.3 points.

One possible reason: biology. Ourbrains are different. More women havedepression and stress, both of whichare factors in Alzheimer's. The researchisn't completely clear at this point. Otherresearch points to the amount of amy-loid in the brains of men versus women.Women have much more, and amyloidis a protein that clogs the brain.

One scary bit of research points tosurgery and anesthesia and how theyaffect the brain. Women respond in adifferent way, but seniors in general

are at greater risk for cognitive prob-lems than those who had no surgery.One group of researchers learned thatwomen experience more brain shrink-age after surgery, making simple elec-tive surgeries something to consider.

The Alzheimer's Association website(alz.org) has a section on prevention andrisk. Put "Alzheimer's risk" in the searchbox and you'll get a list of articles. Lookfor the 17-minute video called Diet AndExercise In Alzheimer's.

Meanwhile, ask your doctor if theDASH or Mediterranean diets wouldbe appropriate for you. Both empha-size whole grains, fruits, and vegeta-bles, and limit the amount of red meat.There's research that shows diets thatare healthy for the heart also are goodfor the brain.

Be careful not to exaggerate real-ity to the point to form fiction.GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You loveto talk, and this week you should get lots ofchances to share your thoughts with peoplewho will not only pay attention to what youhave to say, but will want to hear more.CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The pat-tern of recent changes could begin to shiftfrom mostly workplace-related events tomore personal matters. Continue to keepan open mind as you prepare to deal.LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22) An opportunityfor work-related travel could be just whatthe Terrific Tabby needs to get a new per-spective on a balky situation. The trip alsocould prove to be personally rewarding.VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22) You mightwant to suggest resolving an old disagree-ment before it can affect a matter expectedto come up for discussion. It's always bestto start with a clean slate.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22) The weekfavors combining dollops of creativityand practicality to work out both profes-sional and personal problems.

Things willsoon begin to fall into place.AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18) A per-sonal matter might need more of yourtime than you had expected. Try to prior-itize between your many outside commit-ments and your domestic responsibilities. PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20) A devel-oping situation still needs more time togrow, and more time to study before youcan plunge in and make some attention-getting waves.

Q: My grandmother lived in St. Louisduring the 1920s and ’30s, and she was apersonal friend of Irma S. Rombauer, authorof The Joy Of Cooking. In 1931, she re-ceived an autographed copy of the veryfirst edition, which surprisingly, was softbound. I have been told it could be quitevaluable. My question is, how valuable?

—Carol, St. Charles, MissouriA: The Joy Of Cooking is one of the

most famous and significant cookbooks everpublished in this country. Irma S. Rom-bauer had no cooking experience, but afterthe death of her husband in 1930 she decid-ed to self-publish a collection of recipes.That edition was illustrated by her daugh-ter, Marion, who later became her writingpartner. Now for the tasty part. Your cook-book could be worth $3,000 or more, accord-ing to cookbook experts Patricia Edwardsand Peter Peckham.

Since the 1931 edition was publishedmostly for family, friends and neighbors, themore popular hardback edition did notappear until 1936. It sells in the $150-$300range in good condition. The one I use in mykitchen is the 1943 edition, which containssugarless recipes prompted by the rationingof World War II. It is my favorite cookbook.

***Q: I purchased a partial set of flatware

in the Adams pattern. What can you tell

me about it? It is a very simple design thatI think could be from the 1930s.

—Jennifer, Sun City West, ArizonaA: Your pattern was manufactured by

Frank M. Whiting and Company, whichbegan in Attleboro, Massachusetts, in 1878when it was known as Holbrook, Whiting& Albee. According to Sterling Silver Flat-ware: Value And Identification Guide byMark F. Moran, the company became partof Ellmore Silver Company in about 1940,and then went out of business about twodecades later. The Whiting dies were thenacquired by the Crown Silver Company.Adams was introduced in 1944. You arecorrect that it is a rather simple patternthat also is rather elegant.

Moran lists typical prices as $30 for asoup spoon, $50 for a steak knife and $44for fork. With the increase in silver prices,I suspect these values could be a little low.

Now that the Hurricane Sea-son is upon us Seniors vs.Crime would like to alertseniors who are most likely

to be victims of scams. When the 2005hurricanes hit the Daytona area we re-ceived many complaints from seniorswho contracted companies for repairsduring their recovery from the hurri-cane. Many had given money up frontfor repairs only to find that the contrac-tor went off to another area that was hitby a second or third hurricane. It is hardto get someone who can put on that roofor make repairs at a time when every-one needs work done so a person willjump at any given offer.

This is a time where patience is testedand common sense is necessary. A rep-utable contractor is one who advertisesin the newspapers, yellow pages, on theradio, or TV. Scam artists usually solicitdoor to door. Most often it will be afriend of a friend or a relative of afriend. In fact, most of our cases arethese types. They will say they can do itcheaper or at a discount. For examplethey will take the money and may startthe job, then you can never get themback to complete the job or the workwill be shoddy.

Most scam artists are not licensed. Alicensed contractor should provide Work-ers Compensation and personal liabilityinsurance. They will permit the job whenits necessary. Scammer often use some-one else’s license.

A contractor should be willing tosign a written contract and you shouldonly pay when the project is completed.If the contract is for large amount money,you and the contractor might want tostructure payments according to thework completed.

Before you start any project, shoparound and don’t be pressured into mak-ing a quick decision. Get at least threeestimates and everything in writing. Asenior should always talk to a familymember or get a second opinion. Remem-ber “if it sounds too good to be true, itprobably is.”

If you are a victim of a scam or if youneed additional help in making a deci-sion on contracting a repair, please callSeniors vs. Crime at 386-767-5347 orvisit our office at the Sunshine Mall, 2400S. Ridgewood Ave. #15, South Daytona.We are open on Tuesdays and Thursdaysfrom 10 A.M. to 2 P.M. For more infor-mation or if you wish to help us rightwrongs, visit our website at www.seniorsvscrime.com

Despite the ups and downs ofthe housing market, home-owners and nonownersalike consider owning a home

essential to the American Dream.In fact, 85 percent of voters in a recent

survey are convinced we should do moreto improve the housing finance system be-cause owning a home creates a strongercommunity and is a valued stable invest-ment for their children’s college educationand their own retirement and well-being.

“The survey results show that Americanssee beyond the immediate housing marketto the enduring value of homeownership,”said National Association of Home Builders(NAHB) Chairman Bob Nielsen, a homebuilder from Reno, Nev. “An overwhelm-ing 75 percent of the people who were polledsaid that owning a home is worth the riskof the fluctuations in the market, and 95 per-cent of the homeowners said they are happywith their decision to own a home.”

The survey was conducted on behalf ofNAHB by Public Opinion Strategies ofAlexandria, Virginia, and Lake ResearchPartners of Washington, D.C. Other sur-vey highlights include:• Homeownership and a retirement sav-

ings program are considered by votersto be their best investments.

• Americans believe that owning theirown home is as important as being suc-cessful at their job or being able to payfor a family member’s education.

• Eighty percent of homeowners wouldadvise a close friend or family memberjust starting out to buy a home.

• Saving for a down payment and closingcosts is the biggest barrier to home-ownership.Celinda Lake, president of Lake Research

Partners, said, “People overwhelmingly be-lieve that owning a home is an anchor tothe American Dream. It’s an anchor to yourretirement, and it’s an anchor to your per-sonal economic well-being.” Lake added,“Owning a home isn’t just a policy topeople. It isn’t just a commodity. It is acore value.”

“Homeownership is worth the risk, pureand simple,” said Neil Newhouse, a partnerand co-founder of Public Opinion Strategies.

“Even though the market is weak, peo-ple who don’t own say they want to buy ahouse. Almost three-quarters of those whodo not currently own a home, 73 percent,said owning a home is one of their goals.Among younger voters, who are most likelyto be in the market for a home in the next fewyears, the percentages are even higher.”

A Home Still Key To The American Dream

There’s good news for themillions of Americans whoreceive disability benefitsfrom Social Security and

want to work. There’s a free, volun-tary program that just may be theirticket to employment.

The program, called Ticket to Work,makes it possible for those who receiveSupplemental Security Income—alsoknown as SSI—or Social SecurityDisability to begin a job while main-taining access to some of their benefits.

In the case of Terry Anderson, it wasmore than a ticket to work. It allowedher to take control of her life. Terrywent on Social Security Disability Insur-ance (SSDI) after being diagnosed withcancer and losing her job due to down-sizing. As a result, she took an extendedperiod of time away from work.

A year later, with her cancer in remis-sion, Terry learned about the IowaDevelopment Workforce Center, anAmerican Job Center that’s one ofover 1,000 disability employment–focused organizations that provide freeemployment-related support servicesto Social Security beneficiaries throughthe Ticket to Work program. She decided

to see what her local American Job Cen-ter had to offer.

Fortunately, the staff was able to pro-vide her with expert advice about dis-ability benefits and employment. Forexample, she learned about specialSocial Security rules called Work Incen-tives, which are intended to help peoplewho receive disability benefits transitionto the workforce and become financiallyself-sufficient.

She also found out that recipients ofSSDI can keep their Medicare cover-age and their cash benefits while gain-ing work experience during the TrialWork Period. Terry also learned thatthanks to another Work Incentive calledExpedited Reinstatement, she might beable to restart her Social Security bene-fits without a new application, if she hasto stop work because of her disabilitywithin five years.

Eventually, Terry found work asa loan-servicing specialist and nowworks a second job at Walmart, whereshe trains cashiers and enjoys interactingwith customers.

Grateful that Social Security helpedher “…get through the storm,” Terryacknowledged she was happy to leavebenefits behind.

Moving From Benefits To Work

Sunday’s Parade magazine coverstory featured a football tail-gate food theme which spot-lights America’s favorite “brown

food” group. Simple to prepare, snack foodsare high in calories but low in nutrients.The emphasis is more on the sweet/sourvelvety tongue appeal of sour cream thanwhether the chili ravioli was deep fried inGMO corn oil. America is beginning to fightback in the Waistline Super Bowl and thequarterbacks are Doctor Moms.

With the kids going back to school or tocollege, working moms are looking for away to boost the day’s most important meal:breakfast. How can you get the protein valueassociated with eggs without cooking? Getout the blender and simply drink a morningmeal or snack. Natural Factors has devel-oped a new whey protein powder derivedfrom the milk of free range grass fed cows.For growing children and adults, whey pro-tein is the gold standard for having thehighest biological value: the measurementof how well a protein retains nitrogen andhow useable it is to the body. Simply put,high nitrogen absorption enhances that gain.Compared to other proteins, whey containsthe highest concentration of branched chainamino acids (BCAA’s) which serve as acritical fuel source for skeletal muscles. Dur-ing periods of metabolic stress (school,work, and exercise), BCAA’s help maintainor increase muscle mass and help preventfat storage. It also stabilizes blood sugar,which is why it is so effective with hyper-active children or adults to stay on task orfocus. Read Dr. Michael Lyon’s, MD, book,Is Your Brain Starving? It is a great read forparents and is available at both our stores.

Called Whey Factors, this new proteinpowder supplies the muscle enhancingBCAA’s: L-leucine, Lisoleusine and L-valinealong with several building block aminoacids. Dr. Oz continues to promote theseamino acids. Valine, for example, is one ofthose that supports optimal body shapingand muscle definition. Natural Factorsproprietary formulation retains the naturalgoodness of whey using only milk fromCanadian cows. Canada, unlike the U.S.,does not allow the genetically modifiedhormones rBGH and BSE to be injectedinto their cattle. This also supports LoveWhole Foods whole milk standard: No GMO/hormones. These contaminants are danger-ous and pose a health risk, especially forgrowing children.

So why whey? The most researched aspectof whey protein is its benefit to our immunesystem. High in the amino acid cysteine,whey factors provides the critical antioxi-dant called glutathione which is essential toproper immune system health. Glutathionestimulates anti-body production as well astriggering enzyme actions which vanquishforeign invaders. Mom, that helps your childfight infections they may be exposed to atschool. For the rest of us, this means fight-ing the flu or even cancer. Go online and

download the April 1,2013, issue of Time Magazines cancer coverstory.
