Dear Readers,

Our snowbird friends are

gone. Summer heat is upon us, and we bless the inventor of air conditioning. Are you the only one left on your street? It’s interesting where people go. Your neighbors may have fled to their cabin in North Carolina, a cottage at the beach or the family’s lake camp in upstate New York. Maybe they’ve gone to a villa in France, a casita in Mexico, a pensione in Rome or a condo in Colorado. If they went back to their roots, they may be spend-ing the summer on the family homestead or in a bungalow in small-town Indiana. Many of our neighbors are in motorhomes enjoying cooler climates. Here are the rest of us, tending our Florida homes. If that de-scribes you, consider taking one or more “staycations” this summer. What’s a staycation? Stayca-tion: a vacation in which the vacationer stays at or near home while creating the environment of a traditional vacation. The term first became popular in 2008 when the financial crush caused everyone to take a second (and third) look at spending money. Oh, and gas soared to $3.75 per gallon. People suddenly planned close-to-home vacations to spend less on fuel. Here we go again. It’s a good idea. Let’s take a fresh look at Florida and how we can enjoy our own backyard area. I know it’s hot, but I also know it’s nice to sleep in my own bed at night. So how can we make this work? Look at the definition again. The secret seems to be this: “Create the environment of a traditional vacation.” Hmmm. I did some research and found a few tips for making that happen.

For a really sizzling staycation:1. Plan ahead to unplug from your regular routine. Decide whether you want to stay local only or travel across the state for a few days.2. Adopt the feeling of splurg-ing even though you’re saving money when compared to a vacation to a distant place. It’s all about getting out of your rut. That means no cleaning out the garage. Maybe it means eating at a more expensive restaurant than usual. 3. Enjoy the home environs, particu-larly local places you’ve never visited, ethnic restaurants you’ve never tried. 4. Plan only what you and your spouse/companion can handle without stress—re-member it’s hot outside.5. Think outside the box for ideas. That might mean a behind-the-scenes tour of Disney or a local TV studio, etc. 6. Play tourist in your own home-town. Think small community mu-seums, area winery tastings, historic homes. Maybe stay in a local B&B.7. Think simple. Go bowling; play miniature golf; explore the local and state parks.

So, don’t stalk your neighbors and suffer from vacation envy as they drive off for the mountains or airport. Pull out the Florida map—how long has it been since you visited Jacksonville? St. Augustine? Tallahassee? Google your home town places of interest. Reserve a night at a resort on the beach you’ve heard about but never visited. Getting ready for a vacation was never easier. No shutting off the water, cleaning out the fridge or finding a sitter for your plants. You’ll be home every night or two—or maybe three. Now, isn’t that easy. Take out your iPhone or iPad and try some travel-related Apps: • Urban Spoon is a restaurant guide for major cities in North America. Search by neighborhood, cuisine or price.

• Gas Buddy finds the cheapest gas on the go—for free! In one click, locate gas sta-tions near you and see current gas prices.

• Sutro Media has travel apps for cities across the United States; You’ll be amazed at the destinations right within your neighborhood. (Sutro Media is a free app. Within it are apps for Florida Gardens at $1.99, Florida State Parks at $1.99, etc.)

Have a great summer whatever you decide to do. I’ll be home following staycation advice with a week in the Adirondacks to cool off in July.

Enjoy a Great American Staycation This Summer

Get Ready for Sock Hops, Prom Night and Beach Parties“All the singers on the Malt Shop

Memories Cruise are not just going to be on the stage,” said Frankie Avalon. “You’re going to be rubbing elbows with them. It’s a very unique kind of cruise where you can talk to them and take photos with the per-formers out and about on the ship.” Legendary singer Frankie Avalon will return for his second Malt Shop Memories cruise when the ship sets sail October 27. The luxury liner, Holland America’s luxurious m/s Eurodam, will travel from Fort Lauderdale to Turks & Caicos, San Juan, St. Thomas and Half Moon Cay before it returns on Novem-ber 3. Avalon, along with many other icons from the ‘50s and ‘60s, will perform and make special appearances throughout the journey. One of the talented members of the “Philadelphia school” of rock-n-rollers, Frankie Avalon was the reigning teen singing idol from 1958 through 1960. Devotees of American Bandstand hold affectionate memories of such Avalon top-tenners as “Gingerbread” and “Venus” and his later Beach Blanket movies. In an interview with Cinestar’s Brittany Umar, Avalon said that what is so special about the cruise is that the theme—‘50s and ‘60s music—has to do with a part of his life and that of many others who want to “reminisce, have a good time and hear some great performers.”

He remembered the first Malt Shop Memories cruise as a time when people talked to him about their memories. “They came and told me when they saw the movies I was in or heard me sing,” he said. “It’s unique to work with some of the singers I started out with, like Bobby Rydell and Dion.” Avalon considers this cruise an extension of all those years gone by, a time for the singers “to get together and have fun.”

Inspired by Time Life’s popular Malt Shop Memories CD series, the voyage will be highlighted by performances by some of the biggest artists of the era. Look for Ronnie Spector and Darlene Love, The Original Drifters, The Duprees and many, many more.

This 2012 cruise will also celebrate the memory of the King of Rock ‘n Roll, Elvis Presley. The Malt Shop Memories Cruise will host the richest Elvis contest at sea featuring some of the most well-known and talented tribute artists in the world competing for a cash prize of $5,000. So, ladies, get out the poodle skirt and crinoline and get ready for an incredi-ble line-up of concerts, parties and ‘50s and ‘60s-themed activities throughout the ship for the entire length of the cruise. You’ll grab your blanket for the beach party, kick off your shoes for the sock hop, spin the hula hoop, dress in your finest for Prom Night. Tickets for the cruise are available at MaltShopCruise.com or call (877) 700-6258 (MALT). The cruise is nearly 80 percent sold but great verandah cabins are still available. Florida residents who book between now and July 15 will enjoy free deluxe motorcoach transportation between the port in Fort Lauderdale and seven Florida locations..

The Sounds of FreedomBY PATRICK M. KENNEDY

Bam, bang, hiss, sizzle! “Stars and Stripes Forever.” Fireworks,

parades, barbeques, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family and friends’ reunions—all celebrating the history and tradi-tions of the U.S.A. What a day! Make plans to enjoy the 4th of July. Remember back when the family went together to the local amusement park, probably called Playland, and watched a fireworks display being shot over a small lake? That can happen again for us with a family of old friends gathering on a local hill, watching the sky light up with joyful celebration. We can be kids again by lighting a few sparklers and setting off a string or two of miniature or ladybug firecrackers in the backyard during the barbeque. Just do it outside because they can make the indoors a mess. Ooh!! Ahh!!

“Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better,” said Albert Camus, the French writer. “The basis of a democratic state is liberty,” said Aristotle the Greek philosopher. So you see, this thing called freedom is older than you and is international. That’s what we celebrate—our peace of mind and the battles it took to get there here in the good old U.S.A. And Mr. Webster defines freedom as “the quality or state of being free as the absence of necessity, coercion or constraint in choice or action.” Now that doesn’t mean you can become that grumpy old person everyone dislikes and exercise your freedom of speech and say everything that comes to your mind just because you can. But it means you have the freedom to just think it. And then there is the sitting around back home after the food or fireworks display. “Do you recall when? … Remember where we used to? … Then there’s the time. … Did you know?

… Can you recall? … Do you think we’ll ever . . ?” The warm radiance of a slight beverage buzz—or it could be the ambiance of old friends calling to mind memories—fills the room along with the faded sun. Old friends who hadn’t gathered for a while, some for a year, slow down, take the weight off their feet and relax in a comfort zone built by years of experiences together. The distractions of the present are left at the door like muddy boots. The 4th of July is more than just about the past, it is enjoying the good times and friends of the present. You probably aren’t going to spend the day talking about Paul Revere, Betsy Ross, John Adams or Thomas Jefferson, although they were a big part of the original festivity. More than likely you will be talking about Pete the barber, or Joe the bartender, or even Gigi the checkout

lady at the market—people of your generation and an important part of the celebration of life all year long. That’s the real wham bam of freedom’s sound. (SENIOR WIRE)

Local Fire Fighters Support Senior Friendship Centers

The adult day services program at Senior Friendship Centers assists

elder adults who have memory issues and/or physical impairments, and who may be home alone. The program provides stimulating activities, con-versation amongst peers, a hot meal for lunch and snacks. In the afternoon, participants enjoy table games, musi-cal entertainment, videos and movies. Senior Friendship Centers of Lee County has 15 participants Monday through Friday. The census is com-prised of a mixture of personalities and ethnic backgrounds. Friendships are formed with others who attend the program along with staff. Dorothy Holobinko attended the program in 2011. Her son Mike, who is the vice-president of the Southwest Florida Professional Fire Fighters & Paramedics, enrolled his mother to give her some socialization and get her out of the house. When Dorothy first started, she would always com-ment that “my son wants me to come here and that is why I am here.” It is a typical response from participants when they first come to the center. Senior Friendship Centers’ staff takes pride in keeping the program light and lively. During coffee, the nurse would read everyone’s daily horoscope. Dorothy would jokingly comment under her breath, “doesn’t she ever stop talking?” Through her tenure at Senior Friendship Centers, she and Germine shared a special bond. After a few months, Dorothy looked forward to coming to the center.

Germine always greeted her with a warm smile. She thoroughly enjoyed the activities, socialized with other participants and even enjoyed hearing her daily horoscope. Dorothy’s mem-ory brings a slight chuckle from staff, who remember her unique humor. During enrollment, Mike asked if we are a non-profit organization—which Senior Friendship Centers is—and told me that the Fire Fighters contrib-ute donations back to the community. We provided him with information and received a generous donation last year from the Southwest Florida Pro-fessional Fire Fighters & Paramedics.

Mike called me in April saying he had a check he wanted to drop off at the center. Senior Friendship Centers’ adult day services received an additional $1,000 from the Fire Fighters this year. Mike commented that he was aware of funding cuts and wanted others to have the opportunity to receive services like his mother did. It is generous support like the Professional Fire Fighters provide that helps support our services. It is with gratitude that we thank them and others who give selflessly tohelp our area seniors.

How Are Baby Boomers Doing

as Parents?They hover:Parents Weigh in on Children’s Job Hunt

Boomer helicopter parents’ intrusions

in their children’s outside-the-home lives now extend to the workplace, according to a Michigan State University survey of employers who were hiringbrecent college graduates. Almost a third of the employers said that parents had handed in their children’s resumes, sometimes without their children’s knowledge. A quarter of the employers said that parents had been in touch with them to plead their children’s cause. In some cases, parents sat in on their children’s job interviews. Enterprise, the car rental company, has adapted to the trend by mailingparents the same recruitment materials it sends their children and inviting par-ents to hear their children present their final projects as Enterprise interns. —Jennifer Ludden, “Helicopter Parents Hover in the Workplace” NPR, March 1, 2012

They support: Many boomers are helping to financially support both their parents and their adult children. Almost a third (31 percent) of relatively wealthy Americans are supporting older and younger immediate family members at the same time, according to a new Merrill Lynch Wealth Management survey of 1,000 people with invest-able assets of $250,000 or more.

They question: “As boomers we raised our kids to have the things we didn’t. Our parents came from the World War era and they wanted us to have the life they didn’t have. We in turn gave just about everything to our children and I think this made a lot of them lazy and added

to the “entitled” generation we see today. Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule. Is it our job to keep supporting our adult children no matter where the economy is? Every family has to decide this question.—From the blog sweetiesreviews.com“Supporting their Adult Children.”

They spend: According to a Vibrant Nation sur-vey, a dramatic 84 percent of boomer women are paying more of their over-18-year-old children’s expenses than their parents did for them:• 59 percent pay for an adult

child’s cell phone.• 53 percent pay for insurance• Over 1/3 are paying for

everyday expenses like rent, clothes, cars and computers.

And these expenses add up quickly. 56 percent of boomer women respon-dents report that they pay more than $5,000 in annual expenses,not including tuition/education expenses, for each adult child, and 17 percent spend more than $10,000.

They advise: Over 40 percent of boomer mom respondents report that their children consult them about financial services (including loans and bank-ing relationships) and insurance. Over 1/3 influence their children’s purchase decision for car buying, small/large appliances and food.

Capture the Olympic Spirit Here at Home

BY JANICE DOYLE

As the 2012 Summer Olym-pics begin, you can capture

some of the spirit of the games right here in southwest Florida at a local museum and gallery.Art and Olympics? Yes. Olympians participating in artistic endeavors really goes back to the basic ideas of the original Greek competitions, says Carla Ulakovic, Com-munications Director for the Art of the Olympians Museum and Gallery. “Art was a part of the original competitions,” she says, since the Olympics were based on the blending of body, mind and spirit of the individual. The Art of the Olympians Museum and Gallery is located on the banks of the Caloosahatchee River in downtown Fort Myers. Its intent is to inspire individuals to discover and explore the power of their creative potential through arts, sports and educational programs based on the Olympic values.

Four-time Olympic gold medalist in discus and founder of Art of the Olympians, Al Oerter, once said, “Art and athletics are quite the same, except art is a lot easier on the shoulders and knees.” It’s true, says Ulakovic. Both art and athletics require a passion that leads to intense dedication and training. Oerter’s own collection of

paintings, along with art by 14 other Olympians, was the beginning of the Ft. Myers Museum and Gallery.

What you’ll find Museum visitors find an expansive view of the river from the renovated white stucco building. Inside are two floors of exhibits. On the first level are displays of equipment and memorabilia of various Olympians. Visitors might see track shoes, speed skating suits, Olympic medals or a skating program depending on the featured sport at the time of the visit. The second floor houses artwork by

Olympians. “Their artwork illustrates the transition, the connection, of art and sport. There’s a definite overlapping of talent,” says Ulakovic. Seventy Olympic artists have work here. A current rotating exhibit is by Olympian Kader Klouchi, long jump participant for Alge-ria. A Spirit Unleashed captures his personal passion for sport and draws on his appreciation of the body’s movement as a

work of art in all its grace and beauty, and it’s all done in bright, bold colors. Legends of ’68 is a group exhibition that features the artwork and personal stories of Rink Babka, Bob Beamon, Peggy Fleming and Al Oerter. Art of the Olympians Museum and Gallery is open Tues. through Sat. Call (239) 332-5055 for more info.

based on the Olympic values. The second floor houses artwork by

“Kayak” by long jump Olympian Kader Klouchi.

The Healthy Pleasure of Their Company—the Pets Among UsBY JANICE DOYLE

Judy Elliott spends her afternoons at the Pinellas County Animal

Services facility matching senior pets (over age 6) with senior citizens who want to adopt a pet. She says most of the seniors who adopt senior pets have had pets before and know the benefits of pets in the house. Life occurs in stages, and as we move from infancy to adult-hood—and eventually into our senior years—our needs and wants change. A 50-year-old may choose a different breed of dog than he got when his children were small. An 88-year-old woman won’t want to worry with having to step carefully because of a Labrador dog that fl ops down in the middle of the fl oor or a kitten darting out from behind the chair.

Why get a pet in the fi rst place? While the primary benefi ts to animals are obvious—to place them in loving homes and keep them from being destroyed—the benefi ts to seniors of all ages are ten-fold (versus non-pet owners).

A person who has a pet usually has: • Lower blood pressure and pulse rate• 21 percent fewer visits to the doctor• Less depression• Enhanced ease in making friends • More active lifestyle with

something to nurture and care for• Affection and unconditional love• Ease in the loss of a loved one• Less feeling of loneliness• Higher level of taking care

of themselves• Sense of security

Why get an older pet? Puppies and kittens may be cute, but they also have high energy levels and can require almost constant attention. Adopting an older pet may be the best idea. Think about an older pet because:• Older animals love to sleep

and cuddle. They are happy for you to join them in a nap.

• Adult dogs have learned many life lessons. They know “shoes are for walking and bones are for chewing.”

• They are mostly housebroken or litter box trained.

• Adult pets require less time than a puppy or kitten.

• What you see is what you get; senior pets tend to settle into the household more easily.

In Sarasota County, Kristi Dorman, Executive Director of the Humane So-ciety of Sarasota County, says a staff behaviorist assesses all incoming dogs “for temperament, likes and dislikes, how the animal responds to children. Do they play well with others? Are they aggressive or not?” Volunteers also walk the dogs and note behaviors, making matchmaking easier when a senior comes looking for a pet.

What to consider before getting a pet Beware of making a decision based on “going down memory lane.” Just because you once loved a German shepherd doesn’t mean that breed is best for you at this point in life. If well trained, of course, it might be, but it might be too big for your surroundings or for the care you are able to give it. Go for your present comfort level so it’s a good fi t for both you and the pet. Maybe, instead of adopting a pet, yours would make a good foster home for a pet. Sometimes animals need transition time and space (such as when they’re taking a round of heart worm medicine) and rescue facilities need temporary spaces.

You might also work with pet therapy dogs which are specially trained to be taken into nursing homes and schools. Many fi nancial accommodations can be made if having a pet is beyond your means. Most local agencies have ways to help. (For example, Purina®Pets for People in Sarasota County qualifi es anyone 60 years and over for reimbursement of adoption fees.) Besides county-run facilities, alsolook for smaller groups that adoptout pets. Adopting a senior pet can often open a new world for seniors. To fi nd out how to adopt senior animals in our area, contact your local animal shelter.

Macy Lives to be PettedBig dogs are hardest to find homes for. John Diehl walks his Great

Danes Macy, 8, and Simon, 3, through his neighborhood. He and his wife, Michelle, found both dogs through Big Dog Rescue Ranch (BDRR) two years ago. John says, “Having the two of them is amazing. They are very affectionate dogs. Macy lives to be petted.” They “foster” Macy, which means BDRR covers all her medical bills including routine care. John and Michelle adopted Simon, who is still somewhat skittish from previous abuse, and fully expect to have him around for many years to come. BDRR is at (561) 791-6465 or online at bdrr.org.


An Amsler Grid Can Provide Early Detection For Eye DiseasesAn Amsler grid is a tool

that eye doctors use to detect vision problems resulting from damage to the macula (the central part of the retina) or the optic nerve. The damage may be caused by macular degeneration, glaucoma or other eye diseases, so the Amsler grid is useful in detecting these problems. An early diagnosis means early treatment, so it may help to limit or at least slow the vision loss you experience. If you are at risk for macu-lar degeneration or other eye diseases, you should use this chart at home to monitor your vision. But using the chart doesn’t mean you should skip regular visits to your eye doctor, because you can easily miss signs that only a trained eye care practitioner will find.

If you need reading glasses, please wear them while you use the Amsler grid. The grid should be at about the same distance from your eyes that any other reading material would be. Cover one eye, and then focus on the dot in the center.• Do any of the lines look wavy, blurred or

distorted? (All lines should be straight, all intersections should form right angles and all the squares should be the same size.)

• Are there any missing areas or dark areas in the grid?

• Can you see all corners and sides of the grid?• Don’t forget to test both eyes. It’s very important to report any irregularity to your eye doctor immediately.

dream time. Cooperative Associ-ates Marketing Elderly Options (CAMEO) of Lee County is a profes-sional networking group dedicated to enhancing the professional network base in Lee County of those who serve older adults and raise money for their bi-annual grants program.

On Friday, May 3, 2012, they hosted their 2nd Annual Night at the Races “Virtual Horse Race.” 240 attendees wagered funny money, participated in a hat contest and Chinese auction, all to benefit programs that serve older adults in Lee County. $10,355.15 was raised and will go directly to the grants program.

To learn more about CAMEO of Lee County, visit their website at cameocares.com or attend the next meeting, which will be held on June 21 at 9 a.m. at Shell Point Village, 15101 Shell Point Boulevard, Fort Myers. The June Meeting is “CAMEO Care Month.” The proceeds from the fundraisers held will be granted out to organizations who applied for a Spring Grant through

Boomers Set to Inherit Trillions of Dollars

Baby boomers stand to inherit $10 trillion in the next few years

and women will get the bulk of it, according to a Cornell University study, because they outlive men an average of seven years. “Women already control 60 percent of the nation’s personal wealth. They outnumber men and they are tradition-ally the shoppers,” says financial expert Scott T. Schultz, author of Scott Schultz’s Guide to Closed-End Funds.

“It’s sad that, despite the fact that nearly a third make more money than their husbands and they’re starting businesses at twice the rate men are, 38 percent of women ages 30 to 55 worry they’ll eventu-ally live in poverty because they can’t adequately save for retirement,” he says. With boomers hitting 65 at a steady pace, the nation

will see an even greater number of retirement-aged women holding the country’s purse strings. “Many will inherit money and property from their parents and/or their husbands, and many will live another 30 to 40 years,” Schultz says, citing the Cornell study. “They’ll need to invest their money to ensure they have enough to avoid that impoverished retirement they fear.”


Veterans CornerThe following questions and

answers may help readers in dealing with veterans benefits.

Q: How much are a VA widow’ssurvivors benefits reduced by anyearned income?

A: Widow’s dependency and indemnity compensation (DIC) benefits are not reduced by any other income. Widow’s pension, however, is need-based, so it is reduced dollar-for-dollar against any

Social Security or other income.Q: My mother is experiencing some early cognitive issues that make her unable to live on her own. She is now living with me in another state. My question is this: Does she have veteran military benefits from my dad being in the military for over 30 years (he is now deceased but she is receiving his Army pension.) If so, who would I contact to confirm or process? Also, would benefits vary by state?

A: VA Benefits do not vary based on state residence. However, each state has an office of Veterans Services that may provide benefits separately. If your father was receiving or entitled to VA Benefits, dependent on his status, your mother may be eligible for DIC.

Q: How can I force the VA to give me a disability rating? The VA has been delaying my claim for asinine excuses for more than 454 days.

A: You cannot “force” the VA to give you a disability rating, like it’s your right to have one! They have people that review your medical records to determine if you should have any disability rating; then, if you’re found to be disabled, they will assign a percentage rating to your disability. Once you have the percent that you’re disabled, then your payment is accord-ing to that percentage rating. Tables of such disability benefit payments can be found at the VA website. You might talk with a veteran

service office or call/write the regional office to find out what the delay is. Have they told you they were going to schedule you for exams? However, I would NOT, if I were you, cop an at-titude with the VA.

Q: My dad was a veteran and passed away 10 years ago. My mom has never filed a claim for veterans benefits. Now she needs surgery and after care. Might

she be qualified for some benefits?

A: Anyone at the VA helping your mother will need more information. Be prepared to furnish the following: What were the dates of your father’s service, branch and type of discharge. Did your father ever apply for Benefits from the Dept. of Veteran’s Affairs?

Q: I am receiving DIC (dependencyand indemnity compensation) payments right now. Will it continueafter I file for social security? Do Ipay taxes on this?

A: DIC should not affect your SSI. VA benefits are non-taxable, and your DIC will continue un-less you re-marry. It also should not be affected by any other SS income you may be eligible for.

June Is Safety Month: Help Prevent Falls

You want your elderly loved one to live a meaningful and

independent life. And you espe-cially don’t want something like a trip-and-fall to take this away from them. Even if the fall doesn’t cause a physical injury, your loved one’s confidence in his or her ability to live independently will likely suffer. One out of three adults aged 65 and older falls each year, but the unfortunate fact is that less than half tell their healthcare providers about it or seek information toprevent future falls. Make sureyour loved one doesn’t fall intothis category. Note: There is some debate over whether brittle bones break as a result of the fall, or if the break is what causes the fall. Regardless, the decrease in bone density and strength directly contributes to falls and their resulting injuries.

One preventative measure is to make sure your loved one eats or drinks enough calcium. This is especially important for women, who need 1,500mg a day post-menopause.

Foods high in calcium include: • Dairy, like milk, yogurt and cheese

• Fish and shellfish

• Certain vegetables, like broccoli, collards and turnip greens

• Protein sources like soybeans, tofu and almonds.

It’s also important that your loved one get sufficient vitamin D to promote the absorption of calcium. Most older adults need a supplement because ample exposure to natural sunlight, which causes the body to naturally form vitamin D, may not be an option.

Should All Men Have the PSA Test?Q:

A: It measures the blood levels of a protein called prostate-specific antigen, or PSA. A level of less than 4 nanograms per milliliter is generally considered normal.

Q: Does an elevated PSA level mean prostate cancer?

A: Not necessarily. PSA levels can fluctuate. High PSA levels can also be due to an enlarged prostate or an infection of the gland. Levels often increase naturally as men age.

Q: Should all men have the PSA test?

A: If a man chooses to be tested after consulting with his doctor, the PSA is most often done every year to screen:• Men ages 40 – 75• Men with a family history of prostate cancer (especially a brother

or father) and African-American men, who should think about starting around age 40 – 45. This is because they have a higher chance of develop-ing prostate cancer. Last year, the U.S. Preventive Services Task

Force (which advises the government on disease prevention measures) recommended against doctors administering the test to healthy men 75 or older during routine physicals because of a risk of false positives that can lead to unnecessary treatments. For more information, check with: American Urological Assoc., National Comprehensive Cancer Network, The U.S. Preventive Ser-vices Task Force (do not recommend routine PSA testing). Information from Mayo.com and NIH.

Long-Term Care Protection—Three Different Ideas BY ROSEMARIE HURLEY, CSALong-Term Care Specialist

Traditional Long-Term Care products are more flexible than ever. But in

addition to the traditional products, there are other products in the marketplace that accomplish the same goal—future asset protection—in a unique way. These products have also been around for a long time and they, too, have evolved. Because people are different, so too are their needs and interests. Sometimes people approach their future asset protection differently as well. Rather than commit to a monthly or annual premium for Long-Term Care insurance without knowing how much you will eventually pay into the policy before you access benefi ts by going on claim, it is possible to make a lump sum payment and purchase a paid up policy. Same goal, accomplished a different way. And oftentimes when I am contacted to explain the “ins and outs” of Long-Term Care insurance, people ask: “But what if I am not in the percentage of those people who will eventually go on claim, and I don’t use my policy? What then?” My answer is always the same…consider yourself blessed. There are lots of types of insurance that protect but do not benefi t you unless you go on claim. That’s traditional. The lump sum payment type plans have many very attractive features. One of them is a death benefi t. That means that when you die, if you haven’t used up your Long-Term Care benefi ts, a sum larger than the deposit you made goes to your benefi ciary, and it is income tax FREE. Another interesting feature is that anytime, your money can be returned

to you should you choose to cancel the policy. No questions asked and no complicated forms to complete. These policies operate the same as traditional LTC in that they offer Home Health Care, Assisted Living and Nursing Home Benefi ts. The pay a daily benefi t as usual for these services, and can have infl ation protection, or not, as your choice. One of the main reasons this confi guration is more popular is that your children will receive a larger sum than the original deposit as a death benefi t if you never used the policy. Children understand the value of that. But remember, it is still necessary to qualify for the policy. There are very similar health parameters used to deter-mine eligibility as with other forms of LTC insurance. And this article is meant to educate you a bit about the concept. There is more to learn. As always, I offer a complimentary consultation to help you to decide if this is right for you. Our meeting is at your convenience and can be in your home. To be educated is freeing and benefi ts you and your family. Questions? Please contact me.

Social Security Numbers DownThree-quarters of

eligible adults 62+ postponed Social Security in 2011. The Social Security retirement benefit take-up rate was lower in 2011 than any year since 1976. It has declined to 26.9 percent in 2011, from 30.8 percent in 2009,

according to a 2012 Urban Institute analysis of Social Security data. The take-up rate is defined as the number of new retirement awards in the year divided by the number of adults age 62 and

older who had not yet begun collect-ing benefits at the start of the year.

Cheap Wills Cost a LotBY JOE PIPPIN, Ask an Attorney

A Cheap Will or an Expensive Trust?

Q. Why do trusts cost more than wills, and why are wills so inexpensive?

A. Thank you for asking! I often joke with my colleagues that I am going to start advertising wills for $10 each and give away a free toaster if I’m assured the probate fee. Fees charged for wills are low in lieu of anticipated probate fees which an attorney hopes to receive in the future. But a client needs to know his options. If a client chooses a will, he should be informed of the probate costs and time delays of administration. A guardianship plan should be discussed since wills only deal with death. If the client chooses a living trust, he should be given instructions on how to maximize the use of the trust by registering assets to the trust. Trusts are more expensive than wills initially, but not nearly as expensive

as probate. Registration of assets is very important in the trust process, and problems will be prevented if the client follows the attorney’s instruc-tions. Trusts are simple to comprehend if the attorney communicates to the client in an easy-to-understand format. In my opinion, the advantages of the living trust far outweigh planning your estate with a will. According to recent statistics, the average probate fee is four percent of a person’s gross estate. Recommendation: Review yourestate plan and discuss with your attorney what is best for you andyour current situation.

Green Tea for Aging BonesGreen tea contains

antioxidants, which scientists suspect may help hold off the cell damage that brings on age-related disability and disease. For three years, Yasutake Tomata and his colleagues at Japan’s Tohoku Univer-sity followed almost 14,000 men and women ages 65 and older, monitoring

their health and their green tea intake. Those who drank at least five cups a day were 33 percent less likely to develop disabilities compared to those drinking less than a cup a day. Green tea does

contain caffeine and small quantities of vitamin K, which can interfere with anti-blood-clotting medicines.

The Healthy GeezerBY FRED CICETTI

Q. I live with my 40-year-old son and he smokes like the proverbial chimney around the house. I’m afraid of what it’s doing to his health. What can I do to get him to quit?

A: Tell him he may be killing you with his secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke—also called environmental tobacco smoke (ETS)—is made up of the “sidestream” smoke from the end of a cigarette, pipe, or cigar, and the “mainstream” smoke that is exhaled.

Nonsmokers exposed to secondhand smoke absorb the same 4,000 chemical compounds that smokers do. More than 60 of these compounds are known or suspected to cause cancer. About one in a hundred deaths worldwide is caused by secondhand smoke, which kills an estimated 600,000 people a year, according to World Health Organization (WHO) researchers. Each year, in the United States alone, secondhand smoke is responsible for about 40,000 deaths from heart disease, and about 3,000 lung-cancer deaths. Secondhand smoke causes increased cardiovascular risks by damaging blood vessels, decreas-ing your ability to exercise and altering blood cholesterol levels. Some research indicates that people exposed to a spouse’s cigarette smoke for several decades are about 20 per-cent more likely to have lung cancer. Those who are exposed long-term to secondhand smoke in the workplace or social settings may increase their risk of lung cancer by about 25 percent.

Some of the components found in tobacco smoke that are known to cause cancer or are suspected to be carcino-genic include: formaldehyde, arsenic, cadmium, benzene and ethylene oxide. Here are a few other chemicals in tobacco smoke along with their effects: ammonia (irritates lungs), carbon mon-oxide (hampers breathing), methanol (toxic when inhaled) and hydrogen cyanide (interferes with respiration). Throughout the world, governments are taking action against smoking in public places, both indoors and outdoors. Smoking is either banned or restricted in public transportation. Sev-eral local communities have enacted

nonsmokers’ rights laws, most of which are stricter than state laws. Although air-conditioning may remove the visible smoke in your home, it can’t remove the particles that continue to circulate and are hazardous to your health, so don’t delude yourself that running the AC is the answer to secondhand smoke dangers. To solve your problem, you

should try to get your son to seek help in fighting his addiction to nicotine. There are many programs available. Call your doctor for some recommendations. Meanwhile, for your own health, you should insist that he not smoke in your house.

Ready for Swimsuit Season—Shopping Tips and Styles that Flatter Your CurvesSummer’s here again,

ladies, and you know what that means—new swim-suits! Don’t hide your curves this year, flaunt them. Jeanne Grasso from Always For Me, an online retailer that designs swimwear, active wear and lingerie exclusively for plus-sized ladies, shares her swim-suit knowledge and offers shopping tips to help you find the suit that’s perfect for you.Q: How have bathing suit styles changed over the years?Grasso: The 1920s and 30s gave rise to bathing beauties like Dorothy Lamour and Esther Williams in alluring but modest one piece swimsuits—a style that continues to be trendy today. The modern bikini came into fashion in the 1940s. Once a racy and con-troversial fashion choice, the bikini revolution gained much popularity and

acceptance in the 1960s and continues today. The ‘70s brought improve-ments in fabrics and manufacturing that intro-duced nylon and lycra. These allowed fabrics to contour more easily to a women’s body. Today, swimwear manu-facturers use the latest trends in fabrics, stretch control tummy panels and better bust designs combined with clever

cutting to create a figure flattering silhouette.

Q. What should a savvy shopper look for when buying a bathing suit?Grasso: The right swimsuit is one that is comfortable, flatters your body and accentuates your positive features. The most important thing to keep in mind when choosing a swimsuit is fit. Don’t be a slave to the size on the tag. The most flattering swimsuit

style depends on your body shape. Always For Me has a wonderful Shop by Body Type feature that lets you pick the most flattering styles to enhance your curves with the perfect swimsuit.

New Attractions at Universal Orlando Celebrate 100 Years of Movie MemoriesUniversal’s Superstar Parade and

Cinematic Spectacular—100 Years of Movie Memories are now open at Universal Orlando Resort—bringing two brand-new kinds of entertainment experiences toUniversal’s guests. The new experiences are the latest in Universal Orlando’s “Year to be Here”—during which Universal is creating more new entertainment experiences across its entire destina-tion than any other year in its history. “We are creating special moments for the entire family,” said Jim Timon, Senior Vice President of Entertainment for Universal Orlando Resort. “You can laugh and dance with your children and their favorite characters and then be completely moved as you watch the most powerful tribute to film you could imagine—all in the same day.”

Universal’s Superstar Parade The streets of Universal Studios will transform into a theme-park-wide performance stage as today’s most beloved stories and characters bring new adventure and excitement to guests everywhere. It will feature elaborately themed floats that tower above guests, hundreds of energetic street performers and spectacular music and dance performances. Unforgettable moments include Gru, his daughters and Vector from the blockbuster animated adventure Despicable Me dancing to “Boogie Fever,” Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob arriving in his pineapple home from under the sea with his friends from Bi-kini Bottom, E.B. from the hit comedy Hop playing the drums and acrobatic performances by characters from

Nickelodeon’s Dora the Explorer and Go, Diego, Go! Throughout the day, guests will be able to sing and dance with their favorite characters from the parade during special performances at select locations.

Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular —100 Years of Movie Memories The new show is a tribute to Universal’s 100 years of film-making history, highlighting some of the most fun, dramatic, awe-inspiring moments from Universal Pictures’ most iconic films. These moments are shown in crystal-clear clarity on huge waterfall screens within the Universal Studios Lagoon, surrounded by colorful fountains and pyrotechnics, all against an incredible musical score and a powerful narration by Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman. The show will take guests on a journey of epic cinematic moments filled with heroes, horror, laughter, good versus evil and triumph—all against a backdrop of light, sound and special effects. Everyone can remember powerful film moments such as Elliott and E.T. riding across the moon in E.T: The Extra Terrestrial, the heroic struggle of the crew from Apollo 13 or the terror of watching the famed shower scene in Psycho. Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular captures these moments—and so many more.

Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular—100 Years of Movie Memories and Universal’s Superstar Parade will run year-round except during annual and special events. For more information about both experiences, visit www.universalorlando.com.

The Power of Deduction

BY BRIAN GUNNELL

This deal continues the theme of counting the opponents’ HCP.

This is not the most swashbuckling auction ever to appear in Bridge Bites but the deal does provide a test for Declarer’s powers of deduction. Cover up the E-W hands if you would like to test your own powers. West leads the ♣J won by East’s Ace and it takes half a nano-second for East to find the ♥Q shift. You could duck Hearts twice, hoping that West has the doubleton ♥A, but that would give East 5 Hearts and he would be unlikely to sell out to 1♠ in that case. So, you hopefully play the ♥K, taken by West’s Ace. Two more

Hearts are won by East’s ♥JT, then a Club which you win. The ♠A and ♠K are cashed, followed by the ♠J to East’s Queen (West following). Back comes East’s last trump, and decision time has arrived! You’ve already lost 5 tricks, and must avoid the loss of two Diamonds if you are to make your contract. A Diamond to the Jack? Or a Diamond to the King? Do you have your guessing shoes on? Guess? What guess? Let’s reflect upon East’s bidding. Oh, that’s right, he didn’t bid—which is the whole point of this hand. So far East has shown up with ♣A, ♥QJ, and ♠Q. That’s 9 High Card Points (HCP). Can East also have the ♦A? Absolutely not! He passed originally, that ♦A would give him 13 HCP and too much for said Pass. So, you lead a Diamond towards the board, West smoothly plays low, and you rise majestically with the ♦K. Making 7 tricks thanks to a little deduction. Post Script: Upon winning the ♥A, West would have done better to shift fiendishly to a low Diamond, putting Declarer to the test in that suit before all the clues had been collected!

“I bought the Atomic Talking Watch for my father, who is 95 years old and can barely see.The "talking" feature was the main reason I got it for him, since he can no longer "see"a regular watch. I was attracted to the "atomic" feature because all my father has to dois to place it in a window to update, if necessary.

He uses the watch all of the time and shows it off to all of his friends - more than once...and has come to heavily rely upon it. So much so, that I bought him a "backup" talkingwatch just in case it would happen to fail. However, it has been running strong for thepast 2 years.”

Shell Point’s Newest Assisted Living Facility Welcomes First ResidentThe newest assisted living facil-

ity (ALF) at Shell Point Re-tirement Community has officially opened its doors for new residents, and Virginia Moore was the first person to move in. On Wednesday, April 11, Moore moved into her stu-dio apartment to enjoy the services and lifestyle offered at Shell Point.

“I first heard about The Springs con-struction and renovation plan from good friends of mine that are Shell Point residents,” said Moore. “I had always dreamed of coming to Shell Point Re-tirement Community, but never thought it would be possible. On the day that I moved in, I was met by all The Springs staff welcoming me to my new home; it is something that I will never forget. I was overwhelmed with emotions and was so excited to move in.”

“About a year ago, I made the move from living independently to moving in with my daughter Judy and son-in-law Stu. They took amazing care of me but I couldn’t help but feel I was depriving them of spending time with their own children. My daughter and son-in-law would often stay home with me instead of taking long trips to see their kids as desired. I am so happy to be at The Springs where I can receive assistance with tasks that used to be difficult for me to manage alone. The help I receive here with these simple tasks allows me the op-portunity to spend time doing things that I love, such as reading. At 94, it is all about energy management!” The Springs is the third ALF at Shell Point. The community opened the King’s Crown on The Island at Shell Point in 1987, and added The Arbor in The Woodlands at Shell Point in 2005. New to the Shell Point lifecare tradi-tion, The Springs offers assisted living services to the public on a month-to-month private pay basis. The Springs

assisted living services are available at an economical rate while maintaining the high quality care that Shell Point is well known for. Providing assisted liv-ing services on a monthly basis allows residents a higher degree of flexibility and provides us with the ability to offer seasonal and respite stays. “It has been so satisfying to watch our first several residents move in. The caring relationships have started to develop between our new residents and staff,” said Rita Southern, Direc-tor of Assisted Living and Resident Support Services. “We all are very honored that both the residents and their families trust us and place their needs and care in our hands.” The location of The Springs at the entrance to Shell Point is less than two miles from the Sanibel Island causeway. This location, in addition to Shell Point’s comprehensive resident activities and healthcare services, is just one of the many benefits that residents of the facility enjoy. The Springs all-inclusive monthly rate,

excluding personal laundry, helps residents and their families plan for the most effective use of their resources. This new assisted living option provides the added security of access to the network of quality health care services provided by the Shell Point health care team, when and if those services are needed. The facility’s amenities and services include a heated swimming pool, exercise facilities, transportation, dining, 24-hour healthcare staffing and a professional activities leader who coordinates high-quality events and activities, educational and enter-tainment programs, and opportunities for socialization and personal growth. Representatives of The Springs are available to assist individuals or families through the steps involved in making the transition as smooth and simple as possible. For info about The Springs at Shell Point or to request a brochure, call (239) 454-2077, email [email protected], or visit www.shellpoint.org/assistedliving.
