Before we moved to Florida, wefollowed the rules for beingwell-dressed in Virginia. Asa working manager of Ladd

Fashions, a Talbot Outlet store, I had alltheir fashionable clothing, always wore highheel shoes, ceased wearing white whenautumn officially arrived, and even owneda hat and gloves to wear to church.

Eventually, my parents left their homestate and came to manage a motel inFlorida. One year they were coming backhome to Virginia. Mother had beenworking in casual attire so longthat she had to go on a specialshopping expedition for a dress towear to a family wedding!

When we moved to Florida, Iworked at the paper and contin-ued to dress as I was accustomed‚until everything wore out or I out-grew my clothing. When women began towear pant suits, I swore and be-darned Iwould never wear such things. That lasteduntil there were no further dresses to befound in the stores. Eventually, I becameoverstocked with knit shirts, shorts, andpant suits. So much for being stylish.

Time came when I was making calls inareas where my high heel shoes would buryup in the sand. The heels were the hardestto give up but many areas had not foundconcrete sidewalks to be a necessary partof life in Florida and the loose sand wastreacherous to heels. About the time I turnedto pant suits, I gave up high heels. That was

painful for the legs had to adjust to thenew mode.

Note the picture that brought all this tomind. Every time I look at—Time to breakout the winter clothes—showing flip flopsand socks, I get tickled and start remem-

bering how Floridians and Virginiansstared each other down years agobecause of the differences in attire.

When we first arrived, it was in-teresting to note that everyone youwould see appeared to be tourist,wearing as little as possible on thebeach and sometimes even down-

town. Seniors in other parts of the countrynever wore shorts, but not so in Florida!Age had nothing to do with what wasworn and shorts were (and are) in.

Now, when someone tells me how beau-tiful the state of Virginia is, I often add,‘Yes, and it is a wonderful place to be from.’Needless to say, I have become one of themost casual of Floridians and love everyminute of it.

Time takes its toll, and now dresses areonce again showing up in department stores—but pant suits are my choice.

• It was Henry Brooks Adams, Americanhistorian and descendant of two U.S.presidents, who made the following sageobservation: “They know enough whoknow how to learn.”

• In show business, a name can make orbreak you, and many aspiring stars havetried to make themselves more appeal-ing by getting rid of the name they wereborn with. Take famed film noir actorPeter Lorre: He was born Laszlo Lowen-stein. Beloved cowboy actor Roy Rogerswas named Leonard Slye; Doris Daywas originally Doris Kappelhoff; andNatasha Gurdin changed her name toNatalie Wood. And would Boris Karloffhave been so well-known as a villainif he'd used his given name, WilliamHenry Pratt?

• Edgar Rice Burroughs, the author ofTarzan Of The Apes and its 25 sequels,never actually visited Africa.

• If you're of a certain age and facing upto wrinkles, you might be interested tolearn that, according to the AmericanAcademy of Dermatology, one of the topcauses of skin wrinkles is your habitualsleeping position. Rounding out the top

five contributing factors are sun exposure,gravity, smoking and facial expressions.

• An anteater can grow to be 6 feet long,yet its mouth is only 1 inch wide.

• Reportedly, anyone caught in the jaws ofa crocodile can release him- or herselfinstantly by pressing on the animal's eye-balls (though I cannot personally attest tothe veracity of this claim).

• In a recent survey of nearly 1,500American adults, only 36 percent ofrespondents could correctly name allthree branches of the United States gov-ernment. Even more disturbing, a full 35percent couldn't name even one branch.

Effective October 1, 2015,the Florida Legislature hasamended the statute regard-ing the health care surrogate

form. Up to now, the form has providedthat the surrogate’s authority becomeseffective only when the principal is inca-pacitated, but there was no indication asto how incapacity is determined.

Durable powers of attorney, whichcan cover health care decisions, as wellas financial decisions, become effectiveimmediately when signed. Springingpowers of attorney, meaning those thatbecame effective later, are not permit-ted in Florida. Even when they werepermitted, most attorneys avoided thembecause the determination of incapacitywas uncertain. We at Pyle & Dellinger,PL, have used a durable power of attor-ney for health care in addition to thesurrogate form, partly to avoid the prob-lem of determining capacity.

Pursuant to Fla. Stat. §765.203, asof October 1, 2015, the party creatinga surrogate form has the followingthree options as to when the authoritybecomes effective:• When the principal's primary physi-

cian determines that the principal isunable to make decisions;

• immediately, as to obtaining healthcare information;

• immediately, as to making healthcare decisions.It has always been true that even if the

surrogate form is in effect, the principalcan still speak for himself or herself.

Our practice is to encourage clientsto choose effective immediately. Thus,we have placed that choice first. Becausethe principal always has the ability tooverride the form.

As is generally the case, the statutestates that health care surrogate formsexecuted under prior law remain ineffect. Thus, one does not have to replacethe form with a new form. But if onewants to make the surrogate form effec-tive immediately, as we suggest, then itwould be best to execute the new form.

When was the last time youvisited your old neighbor-hood? For me it’s beenabout three years. Not

much reason to go back anymore. No famil-iar faces, no ambiance, and no ‘house whereI grew up’… it’s gone. The house gave wayto age. My old elementary school stillserves the community but its name, BuenaVista, is now more properly pronounced witha Spanish flavor, in keeping with its realtime students.

Years ago, I drove by the home of mychildhood for the specific purpose of show-ing our oldest boys, then about 8 and 10,where I spent my childhood. As I pointed tothe house, I explained, ‘Boys… this is thehouse where I was born.’

‘No Daddy,’ they replied…‘you mean thehouse where you lived’… adding, ‘babiesare not born in houses,’ they are born inhospitals.’ Obviously, I had some catch-upteaching to do.

We continued to drive around. I showedthem our bus stop where for 5 cents, motherrode to her job in town; my Dad’s old neigh-borhood grocery store with its potbelliedstove; the corner drug stores, yes stores…three of them, one where a Filipino taughtus how to Yo-Yo; our local park and tinyswimming pool; the lot where we playedfootball, the house where we shot marbles,the gas station with a cold drink box, thetheater with its 12 cent admission, thelocal auto shop where we got free air forour bike tires; the church building, barbershop, shoe repair shop, and ice cream store… all now gone to age, change, and a fail-ing local economy. Nostalgia is not whatit used to be. I was somewhat saddenedbut I accept the realities. I just wanted theboys to understand the world of their her-itage, though I’m not sure that can beaccomplished with an 8 and 10 year old.

Most of Peg's growing years were in acompany town with many of the same qual-ities and she too has guided our familythrough her history. She had the advantageof a nearby river and the fun its ‘jungledbanks’ offered the kids.

Today’s youth, reared in a more sterileenvironment of air conditioned homes, cars,and privacy, may not fully understand the

part all these historic sites played to serveand compliment a neighborhood. In thepost WWll neighborhoods there were fewcars. Folks walked, or sent the kids, to attendmost all local needs. There was no drivingacross town to a mega church, or to casha drug store coupon, or get new soles onyour dress shoes. You seldom went to townexcept before the new school year, Christ-mas, or maybe for a new Easter outfit.The doctor’s office was usually local andeven blocks away.

Almost every neighborhood had ananomaly… something other neighborhoodsdidn’t have; a big ball park, maybe a shirtfactory, a hobby shop, or a ‘Ben Franklin’store. In the days before zoning or HOAs,the neighborhood was what the marketdemanded and could provide.

My neighborhood had at least two spe-cial businesses. One was a small ice house.Ice was necessary for the home’s ‘non elec-tric’ ice box. Without it, families had to go tothe store almost every day for milk, meat, orother items that needed a cool environment.Our ice house was owned by a neighbor, oneblock over. It wasn’t fancy but it served theneighbors who did not have a refrigerator.You bought ice in blocks of 25 or 50 pounds.Dad would send me down to buy extra icefor Sunday afternoon’s homemade icecream crank, Ooooo would I like to have abowl right now. In addition, our ice man keptpopsicles for the kids and cold melons forappreciative adults.

Just down that same block, in one direc-tion, we had a scrap yard and in the oppo-site direction, a junk store. At the scrapyard we could buy bike or skate parts andon Saturday the junk store had an auctionselling almost anything.

The old neighborhood was usually agreat place… no matter where you lived,and most everybody has stories about theexperience. Want to go back there? Bettertalk to the people at Disney World. That’sabout as close as you are going to get!

Happy Talk

Utility customers all over,including right here inVolusia County, are beingtargeted by thieves who

are calling unsuspecting residents andtelling them that they must satisfy anunpaid bill or else!

This is nothing more than a scam.Here’s how it works: You receive aphone call from someone claiming tobe a representative from the billingdepartment. Then they proceed to tellyou that you haven’t paid your bill. Theymight tell youthat your checkbounced. Or theymight tell youthat you forgot tosign your check.Either way, the phone thiefthen insists that the bill is now over-due and threatens to have your utilityservices shut off if you don’t pay upimmediately. Next, you’re instructedto wire the money or go out and pur-chase a gift card or pre-paid credit card.In some instances, the intended targetsare asked for a credit card number thatcan be used to pay the bill.

Don’t fall for it. This is nothing morethan an attempt to trick you into turn-

ing over money to a con artist. So howcan you tell if it’s a scam? Utility com-panies don’t call demanding immedi-ate payment and threatening to dis-connect your service. Usually, notices

about over-due bills aresent to cus-

tomers eitherby U.S. mailor by e-mail.

Here are afew more things to

keep in mind:• Never give out personal or financial

information over the phone.• Don’t take the word of a stranger over

the phone. If they tell you that abill hasn’t been paid, contact thecompany yourself to verify if youowe anything.

• Report any suspicious activity toyour nearest law enforcement agency.Following these tips will protect

you from becoming the next utilityscam victim.

A Big Thank You To All The Fall Festival Participants

Seniors Today Fall FestivalSpecial to Seniors Today

Howdy! If you came out to theSeniors Today Fall Festival—Down On The Farm youhad a down home country

good time! Hundreds of seniors moseyedon over to the Holy Cross corral in SouthDaytona for the annual Fall Festival.

Seniors continually tell us that Holy CrossLutheran Church, South Daytona providesthe best location for our events. The largefacility allows for plenty of room for a bigcrowd so every-thing is housed indoors with a din-ing area to sit andenjoy your lunchand the music en-tertainment.

A long line witheager seniors fromthe community formed as the doorsopened right at 9 A.M. The rain held offthat day and gave us picture perfect weatherso a steady stream of seniors flowedthroughout the building during the fun-filled event.

Greeted at the doorby Keith Goodrum andBarbara Bourgois, Ac-count Executives withSeniors Today and JerryVest, one of our Deliv-ery Drivers, the seniorswere off to meet a greatrepresentation of seniorbusinesses and servicesthat were available tohelp seniors with ques-tions and provide information on manysenior living needs.

Mister D.J., Jim, kept the party going! Agood time was had by all with many seniorsup on the dance floor dancing to the ElectricSlide and of course you could see them doingthe Boot Scootin’ Boogy.

You can’t have a Down On The Farm Fes-tival with out a farm animal can you? What asurprise... and big hit... when the Chick-Fil-A

cow from the Port Orange store showed up toparty with our seniors! He encouraged every-one to ‘eat more chicken’ by passing out giftcards to all. What a treat.

Other ‘animals’ sighted were produced byour balloon artist who joined us for the fun.Al Hurlbut kept the gang entertained withmaking all types of balloon art!

Ormond Beach Senior Games

by Diane Helbig

Deep into the summer, as weare now, when the heatfeels like it's never goingto give us a break, there's

nothing quite as satisfying as a cooland refreshing dip in the pool. There'ssomething special about the shock ofplunging into the cool clear water ona steamy summer day that soothes theheat away. People aren't the only oneswho think so.

Sometimes you just can't keep a gooddog down—or out of the pool. That'swhat Diane Helbig learned from thefamily dog, Sparky. She shares Sparky'stale in our book about people who can'tbelieve what their dogs do. Sparkytaught her owners a long-lasting lessonin determination, showing them thatwith persistence, Anything Is Possible.Here's the story in Diane's words:

When I married my husband 15 yearsago, I was not a dog person—I was acat person. I had not grown up with adog and frankly wasn't terribly fond ofdogs. However, my husband was a dogperson and very much wanted a Brittanyspaniel like the ones he had grownup with.

So, we saved up all of our change tobuy a purebred Brittany. We are nowblessed with a fabulous, exuberant,nothing-is-impossible Brittany spanielnamed Sparky. She is 7 years old and asenergetic as the day she was born. Wealso have two children ages 10 and 13.

A couple of summers ago we decidedto get a small aboveground pool for thekids. Little did we know how muchSparky would enjoy it. Unfortunately,she spent a lot of time propping her-self up on the side of the pool and allthe water would drain out. We spentthe entire summer refilling the pool.The results were a very high water billand a really soggy yard.

So, the next summer we decided toget a bigger pool. We bought a pool thathas structured walls, is 4 feet high and18 feet across—significantly larger thanthe previous pool. The pool had a ladder,which was essential for anyone to gainaccess to the pool. Or so we thought.

We could not have been more wrong.Sparky was determined to get into thatpool. She would take a running start andjump right over the side into the pool.Once in, she swam laps. She just knewshe was supposed to be in that pool withthe kids.

After our initial shock (and extremelaughter), we realized that she couldn'tget herself out. Occasionally neighborswould call me to tell me that Sparkywas in the pool and couldn't get out.I'd go out and lift her over the side.Not easy—and not a safe situation forour beloved and determined Sparky.

Our solution? The kids taught herto climb the ladder. With a small assistfrom them she learned how to climbout, onto the ladder top, and then jumpdown to the ground. Now, at any timeshe can get in, and out, of the pool onher own.

It seems that Sparky believes in herright to swim. It's as if it never crossedher mind that she should not swim likethe rest of the family. Wouldn't it be greatif we all possessed the same level ofdetermination as Sparky? She has beena wonderful role model for the children.

Diabetes And Fall Preventionby Arnold Vera, M.D., M.Sc., F.A.C.E., C.D.E.& Ashley N. Briggs, A.R.N.P., F.N.P.-C.

Once a patient is diagnosed withPre-Diabetes or Diabetes thegoal is to prevent complicationsof the disease and improve

overall quality of life. Patients with Pre-Diabetes can benefit from life-style mod-ifications including exercise and healthynutrition to help prevent overt Diabetes.One major concern for patients is fall pre-vention. Once a patient suffers a fall theyoften end up in a nursing home and die asa result of complications of falling and beingbed-ridden. The key is preventing falls beforethey happen.

Exercise, especially muscle development(strength training) both upper and lowerbody can greatly reduce the risk of falling.Additionally, exercises that improve agility,balance, and coordination can be accom-plished with training in tai chi, yoga, anddancing. Remember exercise can cause in-juries if not done properly. It is important tohave a trainer show you how to properly doexercises and build muscle to prevent in-jury. Before you start any exercise programyou should consult your doctor or health-care provider to determine if an exerciseprogram is right for you. Exercise abilitymay vary depending on your risk factorsincluding cardiovascular, vision, neuropa-thy, excessive body weight, or due to phys-ical deconditioning.

Each individual should have a trainerassess their physical condition and evalu-ate gait and mobility to help customize aprogram for their specific needs. Motiva-

tion and enthusiasm are keys to help youbegin exercise and prevent the life alter-ing devastation caused by falling. Thetype of exercise needed varies based onthe individual. Certain factors must beconsidered, including type of diabetes,health status, clinical condition or situa-tion, for example hypoglycemia (low bloodsugars). Another factor to consider is age.For younger individuals exercises may varygreatly than for seniors or patients with ahistory of falls or previous fractures. In addi-tion exercises may vary during pregnancyand weather the patient has Type 1 or Type2 Diabetes.

Each person requires a personalized planto meet their individual needs.

Most importantly, remember—Smile!

Q: I picked up a Bozo bobbing head fig-urine at a local flea market. It is markedCapitol Records on its base. I paid $10 for itbut suspect it could be worth more.

—Jim, Weatherford, TexasA: Your instincts are good. According

to Today's Hottest Collectibles publishedby Krause Books, your Bozo is valued atabout $300. If you grew up during the 1940and '50s, you probably are familiar with theBozo albums, which were issued by Capi-tol Records. When Bozo honked his horn,you were instructed to turn the page in thepicture book that accompanied the album.Bozo At The Circus, Bozo Under the Sea, andBozo And His Rocket Ship were among themost popular titles.

***Q: I have a piece of 96 percent silica

glass. What exactly is it? My piece lookslike it could have originally been somesort of lab equipment.

—Eula, Stigler, OklahomaA: I had to search for this answer, but

finally found a reference in one of myfavorite references, Glass A-Z by DavidShotwell. According to Shotwell, 96 per-cent silica glass is made by removing allcompounds except silica from borosilicateglass after being formed by conventionaltechniques. It has extraordinary thermal en-

durance and chemical resistance, and excel-lent electrical characteristics.

You are correct in assuming your piececould have been lab equipment, since thatis one of the ways this special glass wasused in addition to antenna shields for spacevehicles and sight glasses. It is more a curios-ity than collectible.

***Q: While vacationing in Wisconsin, I

went to a farm sale and purchased a bandedgreen glass bottle with galvanized feet.What do I have?

—Betty, Flagstaff, ArizonaA: I examined the pictures you sent

and immediately identified your bottle asa minnow trap. It was placed in a creek, andwhen minnows swam through the open-ing they were captured to be used later asfishing bait. I have seen these sell in the$40-$60 range. Since the one you have isgreen glass, I think it would be valued onthe upper end of that scale.

At animal shelters aroundthe world, it is very com-mon to receive animalsthat were dropped off due

to children in the home or on the way.In most cases, however, it can be a verypositive experience for children to growup with a pet in the home. With the rightamount of parental involvement andsupervision, a pet can be an excellentmember of a family with children.

Studies have shown many benefitsfor children raised with pets. Childrenthat have positive relationships with

animals at a young age tend to havehigh self-esteem, strong social skills,and better relationships with others.Children also learn important lessonsabout life from pets, and develop respon-sibility when tasked with caring for a pet.

Parents should take caution to super-vise very young children around pets.This is especially important when a petis eating or playing with a toy. We canteach young children to allow the pet tohave its space during these times.

When children reach the early ele-mentary years, they can begin to help

with their pet’s care. You may teach themto feed the pet regularly, or to clean thepet’s crate or cage. Children often buildstronger relationships with pets at thisage. Playing with pets should be encour-aged, but still supervised.

As children reach the pre-teen years,parents may decide to let them be theprimary caretaker for their pet. They cantake the pet on regular walks, feed them,brush/groom the pet, and other pet caretasks. Parents should still check to makesure the pet is being fed regularly andreceiving the appropriate care.

By involving pets inthe lives of children ata young age, we help todevelop the next gener-ation of animal support-ers. To share your experiences withpets and children, post on the HalifaxHumane Society Facebook page atfacebook.com/halifaxhumanesociety

Special to Seniors Today

The Ormond Beach Historical So-ciety has recently spearheaded aproject that replaced an aginginterpretive sign at the World War

II Watchtower in Ormond-by-the-Sea. Thehistoric tower was rebuilt in 2005 throughthe efforts of the Emmer Corporation whosehome office is in Gainesville. In the ten yearssince then the wooden tower has withstoodthe elements, but the panel relating its his-tory had become unreadable.

“The Historical Society office startedreceiving complaints about the signage fromvisitors and residents regarding the de-plorable condition of the sign,” said DianaSimmons, Historical Society President.“One of our volunteers, Linda Ross, de-cided she would research what optionsmight be available to replace the panel.”This led her to Tom Baskett, Public Histo-rian for the County of Volusia, who hadbeen involved in the restoration of the towerand the installation of the original signage.

Mr. Baskett gave Ms. Ross the name ofPhillip I. Emmer, Chairman of the EmmerCorporation, who had graciously respondedto a request from the Historical Society torestore the tower. Mr. Emmer received anaward that year from the Florida Trust forHistoric Preservation presented at theStatewide Preservation Conference in CoralGables. Mr. Emmer said he rememberedwhen he was 13 in Miami Beach where hisfather volunteered for the Civil Air Patroland scanned the horizon for German U-

boats from a similar post. Emmer acquiredthe Watchtower as part of a former camp-ground at 2160 Ocean Shore Blvd. wherehe planned to build single-family homesand condominiums. While the housingproject was never completed, the Watch-tower and signage has given the public a“special window on World War II and a vis-ible symbol of American volunteerism,”said Baskett in his nomination of Emmerfor the Florida Trust award.

When contacted by the Historical Soci-ety regarding the replacement of the sign,the Emmer Corporation immediately steppedup with the money to replace the panel.

Dear Paw's Corner: How can Iadopt a war dog like the dog in themovie Max? —J.T. via email

Dear J.T.: While Max is a compellingmovie, adopting a former military work-ing dog takes a fair amount of researchon your part, and the ability to carefor dogs that have high energy andneed plenty of attention and continu-ing training.

All military dog adoptions are han-dled through the Department of DefenseMilitary Working Dog Adoption Pro-gram at Lackland AFB in Texas. Dogseligible for adoption were retired dueto age, injury, or sickness. Not all dogssaw combat. Some worked in nationalsecurity, while others were trained asworking dogs but did not meet thestandards for military service.

Be prepared for a long wait aftersubmitting the application—up to ayear or more. First priority for adoptiongoes to law-enforcement agencies, if thedog is still fit for duty. If not, the dog'shandler can adopt it. Only after thatdo dogs become available for adoption

to civilians. Some dogs, sadly, arenot adoptable due to temperament orsevere injuries.

In addition to patience, be awarethat you don't have control over whattype of dog is made available— althoughyou can state your preference on theapplication. Be prepared for some pre-adoption expenses as well: If selectedto adopt a MWD, you'll need to travelto where the dog is being kept (mostlikely, Lackland) at least twice, onceto be interviewed and meet the dog,and again to pick it up if your appli-cation is approved.
