Page A-2—Seniors Today—November 21, 2014

In the 60s we had four small chil-dren who felt as strongly aboutThanksgiving and Christmas aswe did (and do). Now, at a much

older age, the gauntlet has been passedto them. I rarely decorate for the holi-days for my children take care of all thethings I used to do… and they are theones who invite family to Thanksgiv-ing dinner and Christmas Eve at theirhome. The numbers of guests continueto grow.

This year, my daughter, Patricia, isbringing out wooden cartoon charac-ters made by her dad many years ago.I didn’t know they still existed. Theystand about 3 ft. tall and are of DonaldDuck, Mickey Mouse, etc. There aresix of them. She plans to freshen uptheir paint and fill her yard with thesedecorations… plus a Christmas treethat Keith cut out for her. She has otherthings, even reindeer. Most of all, shehas memories.

Recently Patricia asked me to repro-duce a Bible laid out on a large planeof plywood… like the one I painted somany years ago. It was done in black,white and gold and placed out front onthe hill in front of our home in Chat-tanooga during the Christmas season.It could be seen at great distances.

I agreed to try reproducing it and be-gan painting the book. I found that Iam not as artistic or energetic as I wasso long ago… but I am determined tomake it again because it means so muchto her. She even remembers little swirlsI put on my rendition of “Old English”letters. I keep hoping that I will go toher home and find that she has pickedup the paint brush and finished the pro-duction. She claims she is not artistic.

Can you imagine a large family hav-ing Thanksgiving dinner in a motel oron the carport? That’s how it was foryears. After we moved to Florida,Mother and Daddy managed a motel

and we would run long tables throughtwo of their rooms in order to accom-modate all of the family. When theywere no longer with us, family membersgathered at my home. Those who couldcome numbered in the twenties and theweather was almost always perfect foreating outside… so we set a fine feast onthe carport.

No special invitation yet for thisThanksgiving dinner but it will come.There’s always the church where a spe-cial dinner is held in late afternoon forthose without a family to go to. MaybeI will do both. Maybe by ThanksgivingI will have finished the Bible sign formy daughter’s yard.

Meanwhile, in the area surroundingwhere I work, the turkeys are runningrampant. They probably don’t want toget dressed for Thanksgiving.

The best to you throughout the hol-iday season!

Aging and ill people may be-come subject to undue influ-ence by people they trust.Family or friends one has

known for years, or a new person in one’slife, like a caretaker will take advantage.Sometimes, the elderly or ill person createsdocuments, like powers of attorney, willsor trusts, which provide for somebody whoactually intends to take advantage.

People often wonder why we documenthow a client arrives at our law office for ameeting, whether they drove themselves, orwere driven, whether a person who broughtthe client will benefit from the documentsbeing created, and whether we have ex-cluded a party from the discussion. We doc-ument such matters specifically to addresswhether there was undue influence in caseof a later contest.

In a 1981 case, Lamberson's Estate, thecourt said undue influence is “over per-suasion, duress, force, coercion, or artfulor fraudulent contrivances to such extentthat there is a destruction of free agency andwillpower of the testator.”

The Florida Supreme Court in 1971 de-cided a leading case in regard to undue in-fluence, Estate of Carpenter, in which itestablishes seven factors (not inclusive) thatconstitute active procurement in establish-ing undue influence:

1. Presence of the beneficiary at theexecution of the will;

2. Presence of the beneficiary on thoseoccasions when the testator expressed adesire to make a will;

3. Recommendation by the beneficiaryof an attorney to draw the will;

4. Knowledge of the contents of the willby the beneficiary prior to execution;

5. Giving of instructions on preparationof the will by the beneficiary to the attor-ney drawing the will;

6. Securing of witnesses to the will bythe beneficiary; and

7. Safekeeping of the will by the bene-ficiary subsequent to execution.

The contestant initially has the burden ofproof; once established, the procurer has toprovide evidence the will was not a resultof undue influence. Proving and disprovingundue influence is often difficult and expen-sive and the results usually depend on whichparty has sufficient facts to meet the party’sburden of proof.

English is not an easy language.Verbivore Richard Lederer tes-tifies to that better than any otherlanguage expert in America…

and he is surely the funniest man alive withwords. Lederer, a speaker and author haswritten many books on language. Googlehim to learn more about his popular books.Here’s a sample of his work from his bookCrazy English.

Let’s face it—English is a crazy language.There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in ham-burger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.English muffins weren’t invented in Eng-land or French fries in France. Sweetmeatsare candies while sweetbreads, which aren’tsweet, are meat. Boxing rings are squareand a guinea pig is neither from Guinea noris it a pig.

Why is it that writers write but fingersdon’t fing, grocers don’t groce and hammersdon’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth,why isn’t the plural of booth, beeth? Onegoose, 2 geese, So one moose, 2 meese? Oneindex, 2 indices? Doesn’t it seem crazy thatyou can make amends but not one amend?If you have a bunch of odds and ends andrid of all but one of them, what do you call it?

If teachers taught, why didn’t preacherspraught? If a vegetarian eats vegetables, whatdoes a humanitarian eat? Some think all theEnglish speakers should be committed to theasylum for the verbally insane. In what lan-guage do people recite at a play and play ata recital? Ship by truck and send cargo byship? Have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chancebe the same, while a wise man and a wiseguy are opposites? You have to marvel at theunique lunacy of a language in which yourhouse can burn up while it is burning down.

English was invented by people, not com-puters, and it reflects the creativity of thehuman race, which of course, is not a raceat all. That is why, when the stars are out, theyare visible, but when the lights are out, theyare invisible.

PS. Why doesn’t Buick rhyme with quick?Yes, Richard Lederer’s skill with language

is most unique. Others contribute to the mad-ness as well. Take this collection of wordsand phrases…somewhat heteronymic. Theauthor is unknown. Probably an Englishteacher without enough to do. It is typical ofweb filler and funny enough to bear repeating.

The bandage was wound on the wound.The farm was used to produce produce.The dump was so full that it had to

refuse refuse.We must polish the Polish furniture. He could lead if he got the lead out.The soldier decided to desert his dessert

in the desert.Since there was no time for the present,

it was time to present the present.A bass was painted on the side of the

bass drum.When shot at, the dove dove into the

bush.

I did not object to the object.The insurance was invalid for the invalid.There was a row among oarsmen on how

to row.They were too close to the door to close it.The buck does funny things when the does

are present.A seamstress and a sewer fell into a

sewer line.To help with planting, the farmer taught

his sow to sow.The wind was too strong for me to wind

the sail.Upon seeing the tear in the painting, I

shed a tear.I had to subject the subject to a series of

different tests.Tell me how can I intimate this to my

intimate friend?I repeat my premise. English is not an

easy language.As for me? I speak two languages: Eng-

lish and Southern, but I have a lot of trou-ble with English.

Special to Seniors Today

Millions of people across theUnited States will sit downNovember 27 to a tradi-tional Thanksgiving meal,

including turkey, potatoes, squash, corn,and cranberries. These foods have becomesynonymous with Thanksgiving, but howdid they end up on tables from Maineto California?

According to Bruce Smith, senior scien-tist at the Smithsonian's National Museumof Natural History, much of what is eatenat Thanksgiving today came from Mexicoand South America.

“We can trace many of these foods upthrough the southwest-ern United States intoother parts of the coun-try,” he said. “Mostlikely this diffusionhappened as a result oftrading or other contactamong American Indiantribes in this country.”

Smith shares somefacts about the originsof the food on this hol-iday menu:

TurkeyThe turkey was do-

mesticated twice, incentral Mexico and alsoin the southwesternUnited States. This do-mestication happenedat the same time about2,000 years ago. Thesouthwestern domesti-cate disappeared, andthe turkeys eaten todayare from the Mexicandomesticate.

Wild turkeys wereeaten at the first Thanks-giving. Domesticatedturkeys made quite ajourney to tables in theUnited States. Theywere more than likelybrought from Mexicoto Europe, and thencame to the eastern United States by Euro-peans when they settled the colonies.

PotatoesPotatoes were domesticated in South

America (likely Peru) about 10,000 yearsago. The Spanish probably took the pota-to from South America to Europe, whereit slowly became a staple crop.

Like turkeys, potatoes also had quite ajourney to the dinner table. Europeans likelyintroduced potatoes to the eastern UnitedStates when they settled there.

Squash And PumpkinsThere are many species of squash and

pumpkins grown today in the United States;the most common species (Cucurbita pepo)also was, like the turkey, domesticated twice

—in Mexico and the eastern United States.Some common members of the species C.pepo include acorn squash, pattypan squash,and spaghetti squash.

The orange-skinned pumpkin lineage ofC. pepo (what is carved as a jack-o-lantern)was the first plant to be domesticated in theAmericas, about 10,000 years ago in Mexico.

There was a second domestication of C.pepo squash in the eastern United States5,000 years ago. The yellow- and green-skinned summer squashes in the U.S.,such as zucchini and acorn squash, werederived from a wild gourd that can still befound in the Ozarks.

CornCorn (maize) was domesticated in Mex-

ico more than 8,000 years ago. This impor-tant crop plant arrived in the southwesternUnited States by 4,000 years ago, and reachedeastern North America at about 200 B.C.

Maize is derived from teosinte, a largewild grass that has five species growingin Mexico, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.

Many families have started their own tra-ditions for the holidays. Some of the foodshave varied over the years and others havecome to be added from Grandma’s favoriterecipes. So here is a little history to sharearound your Thanksgiving table this year asyou make your own traditions.

Q: I have inherited a Priscilla sewingmachine, model 14A314. Can you tellme more about it and, perhaps, its value?

—Susan, Surprise, AZA: The Priscilla sewing machine was

manufactured by the New Home SewingMachine Company and sold mostlythrough department stores. Your machinewas produced in about 1919. I con-tacted several collectors, who seem toagree that your machine would retail inthe $150 to $250 range.

***Q: I have a collection of model rail-

road cars, G grade, which originallybelonged to my husband. I would liketo sell them.

—Joan, Lombard, ILA: The first thing that you should do

is determine the value of your modelrailroad cars. Even though there areseveral excellent price guides, I espe-cially like O'Briens Collecting ToyTrains: Identification And Value, editedby David Doyle and published byKrause Books. This reference has morethan 6,000 listings, including locomo-

tives, cars, rolling stock, and acces-sories. Since it is updated frequently, theprices seem to reflect the marketplace.To sell, you might want to post yourcollection on eBay to attract a nationalpool of buyers.

***Q: I have a Tom And Jerry comic,

No. 65, which was published in about1949. Does it have any value?

—Tom, Des Moines, IAA: I found your comic referenced

in The Standard Guide To Golden AgeComics, by Alex G. Malloy and StuartW. Wells III. According to this guide,your comic was issued in July 1949 andis worth about $100. As with most col-lectibles, condition is extremely impor-tant. For example, if your comic showsa great deal of wear, it could only beworth only $20 or so.

Truth be told, as books go, ILike Giving might make youthrow up. In a good way, ifsuch a thing exists.

The reason: Brad Formsma and hisfamily have become so attuned to giv-ing, seemingly always looking to helpothers in ways both big and small,that it is just short of amazing, chal-lenging and, yes, somewhat sickening.

The subtitle of the book is The Trans-forming Power Of A Generous Life.Although the book is generally tailoredtoward Christians, the idea of giving isnot religion-specific. In fact, social sci-entists Drs. Elizabeth Dunn and MichaelNorton found in their research that ask-ing people to spend money on others,be it through charity or by buying giftsfor a family member or friend, makesthem happier than spending the moneyon themselves.

In the book, Formsma stresses thatgiving doesn't have to come in largemonetary sums or involve a huge effort;in actuality, small actions also can leadto a more generous lifestyle. It's notage-specific—you don't have to be an

adult to enjoy the satisfaction of giving,which Formsma calls a powerful force.

Before you think Formsma and hisfamily are on a giving mountain toohigh for mortal man to attain, takecomfort in the fact that in the book heshares the inspirational stories of numer-ous other people who have given, haveinvested in the lives of others and beenblessed by it.

As Formsma says, “Giving connectsus to other people, brings us joy, andincreases our well-being.” In a worldthat seems engulfed by self-centered-ness, who couldn't use more of that?

Even if it does make you a littlenauseous at times.

Section BNovember 21, 2014

Temperatures are dropping in Cen-tral Florida, but how do we knowwhen it is too cold for our pets?Actually, in our area, it is rare

that the cold becomes truly dangerous forhealthy pets. However, it is still good toknow a few tips to prepare for that occa-sional cold spell or a winter trip up north.

While there is not a specific temperaturethat guarantees that your pet will be safe orunsafe, research suggests that pets typicallykept indoors will start to become uncom-fortable when temperatures are below 45degrees. This also applies to kittens or pup-pies, elderly pets, or sick pets.

Even for pets acclimated to living out-doors, extra precautions must be taken whentemperatures drop below the freezing pointof 32 degrees. At this point, frostbite is aconcern, along with hypothermia.

There are several ways to help pets staywarm in the winter. For cats, it is most im-portant to provide adequate shelter. Livingindoors is ideal for cats in the winter, butif this is not possible, there are alternativeoptions. Cat houses or condos can be con-structed to offer protection from the ele-ments, and can be lined with rugs or blan-kets. A bale of straw can also be used toprovide the cat with insulation from the cold.Make sure pets have access to water.

For dogs, there are many options. Forindoor dogs, you may just be looking forextra protection on walks. Dog sweaters orcoats can be helpful, especially for short-haired dogs. Long-haired dogs typically donot need the extra layer of protection exceptin extreme cold temperatures, but regulargrooming is still important to allow the dog’scoat to insulate properly.

For dogs that sleep outside in a dog houseor in a cold area, many of the same tips fromthe cats apply. Protection from the elementsis important, and having a blanket, rug, orheated pad will keep your dog far more com-fortable than a cold, hard surface. Again,make sure your dogs have access to water.

For pets that spend timein the cold, larger meals area good idea. Animals typ-ically will burn more calo-ries while trying to staywarm, so the extra food keeps them healthyand full of energy. While we hope for abeautiful winter here in Florida, you andyour pets can now be better prepared for afew chilly days.

Q: I read recently that the best wayto store all of my lawn tools for the win-ter is to rub them with linseed oil andthen hang them up. Linseed oil seemslike kind of a pricey way to do it, and Idon't have a lot of space to hang uptools. What do you recommend?

—Karl G., Buffalo, NY

A: Linseed oil is considered a goodmedium to protect wooden-handledtools, but there also are wood-condi-tioning blends available—some of themcontain linseed oil among the ingredi-ents, others don't. The oil protects thehandles from cracking from cold andhot temperature changes, dryness, orany humidity.

The metal surfaces of your hand toolsshould not be coated with linseed oil.Instead, clean them well, removingdebris and any spot rust. Some peopleeven sharpen trimming tools one lasttime for the season. Put a light coat ofprotective oil on the metal portions,including the blades and hinge points.

How you store the tools is up toyou. The most important thing is to

keep them out of direct weather—in astorage shed, basement, or garage—andoff the floor. The next priority is to storethem so that the metal blades don't toucheach other. If your only option is to placethem on a storage shelf, lay them in aline, in opposite directions, to minimizemetal-to-metal contact.

Do It Yourselfers with a garage or stor-age shed often designate a section ofthe wall for hanging tools. A classic,fast, and inexpensive way to get a lot oftools into one section is to put up apiece of pegboard with metal hooks.This can be quickly configured andreconfigured since the hooks simplycan be lifted up and repositioned intoanother peg. Hang tools by their han-dles. Long tools like shovels can besuspended by placing the shovel headon two hooks with the handle pointingdownward.

Grandmother Cindy has multiplesclerosis and uses a wheelchair.Early one Saturday morning,she was out and about when she

stopped by the local “Market in the Park,”in Lake Helen.

There Cindy met a Shriner. He had onhis fancy red "Fez" and was standing bythe tailgate of his van, collecting funds forthe “Shriner's Hospitals and Burn Centersfor Children,” and at the same time tryingto sell some of his treasures.

Cindy stopped and made a contribution,and asked, “What do Shriner's do, anyway?”

The following is what he told her:Shriner's support 19 Orthopedic Hospitalsand three Burn Centers, in North Amer-ica. They furnish all the services free toall children up to the age of 18. They pro-vide hospitalization, transportation, andhousing for the parents, if required. It isfurnished regardless of their ability to pay.

These hospitals are supported by you andme, with the money, being collected right herein this bucket at the “Lake Helen Market inthe Park,” and in all the other buckets beingheld by Shriners all over North America.

All the money contributed into thesebuckets goes to the Shrine Hospitals. One ofthe Hospitals is right here in Tampa, and theclosest Burn Center is in Cincinnati, Ohio.

The Shriner told Cindy that Central FloridaShriner's have transported several childrento the Cincinnati burn center over the pasttwo or three years. He asked if she remem-bered Daniel Happy?

Daniel is the little boy who was burnedover 95 percent of his body when a smallplane crashed into his home in Sanford in2007, killing his little sister, and a motherand her baby next door. Daniel's fatherwas burned pretty badly also, and the pilotand co-pilot were both killed.

Daniel was transported right away toCincinnati. He has since moved there tobe close to the hospital for skin grafts, whichare done every other day. Daniel is doingvery well. In fact, he has been flown backto Central Florida several times to speakat events and tell his story.

Daniel says he is going to become aDoctor and help kids like himself, whohave been burned.

He is a very out-going young man.In the current economy, donations have

been down, and the Shriner's are talking toinsurance companies to see if they willhelp with costs. (This is now being done.)

That is what the Shriner told Cindy, inanswer to her question. She, in turn, askedhim another question.

“Can you help my friends son? He hasspina bifida.”

The Shriner's answer was yes. In additionto helping burned children, Shriner's helpchildren who have spine a-bifida, multiplesclerosis, cleft lip and palate, almost all ortho-pedic conditions, and many other problems.

This story has a happy ending. TheShriner, who was this writer of this arti-cle, by the way, got the grandmother anapplication. A couple of Shriner's pickedup the little boy and his mother and trans-ported them to the hospital in Tampa.

The boy received some equipment tohelp him get around more easily, and isundergoing treatments. There will neverbe any cost for any of the treatments, andthe boy will be in the Shrine program aslong as he needs help.

I collect for the hospitals every Wednes-day, along with eight of my other NobleTruckers, at the Farmers Market, at the Volu-sia County Fairgrounds, at the Market in thePark, and any other event I can locate.

Some people call me “Mr. Goodegg.” Ithought that everyone should know whatthe Shriners do, and that they do it, re-gardless of family’s ability to pay.

You do not have to SEE a Shriner in his“FEZ” at any event to help the Shriner's.Here is what you can do. The Shrine Hos-pital in Tampa is on the “University of SouthFlorida Campus.” The address is: ShrineHospital Tampa, 12502 USF Pine Drive,Tampa, FL 33612-9411. You can just senda check. Please write: “Noble Truckers,”in the memo area at the left and bottom ofyour check. That is the name of our Cen-tral Florida Shriner's group.

If you know a child that needs the Shriner'shelp, call me: 386-228-2367. Just ask for“Mr. Goodegg.” I will send you an appli-cation and directions on how to fill it outand where to forward it.

Thank you and God Bless you all foryour help.

Frank Schroeder “Mr. Goodegg.”

Dear Paw’s Corner: I enjoy simplepleasures in life, including your Paw'sCorner columns. I was particularly inter-ested in the reply to the couple askingabout their doggie Trip's adventures withthem into state parks. What are the pre-ferred actions to take when a hound isin a state park and leaves a “deposit”somewhere? Is it the owner's respon-sibility to collect it and carry it to wher-ever the nearest refuse container may befound? I love dogs and realize certainchores should be carried out in regardto responsible ownership.

Sign me—Woof!

Dear Woof: You're absolutely right!It is the owner's responsibility to cleanup after his or her dog. Even in a statepark, where one would think that, heck,wild animals can poop wherever theywant and leave it, why can't my dog?

There are a number of reasons whyit's not just a good idea to clean up afteryour dog—it's a rule in most parks.First and foremost, you and your dogusually are hanging out in the sameareas that everyone else frequents.

Other dogs, people, and small childrenroam those same trails and play in thesame areas. Nobody wants to roll in adog's leavings (except other dogs).

Before going into a park, review therules for that park regarding dogs. Forexample, California's state parks do not(in most cases) allow dogs on the beachfor sanitary reasons. Dogs are restrictedfrom some trails, and they have to beon a leash at all times during the day.

Even if a park doesn't have strictrules, being a good neighbor by pickingup after your dog helps breed good willand can keep restrictive rules from beingenacted in the first place.

Clean Up After Your Dog

According to a study re-leased by Merrill Lynch,seniors don't really wantto completely retire.

Nearly three-quarters of us want ourretirement years to include work.

Given the economy, it would seeman easy guess that we would keep work-ing not because we want to, but becausewe need the money. That's not neces-sarily so, per the study. Five years beforeretiring, 37 percent of us already havetaken steps to having a career afterretirement. Half of us do take a breakbetween official retirement and the nextcareer. The break lasts for two years.We then spend the next nine years or sofinding a balance between work andleisure, with most of us opting for part-time work. A third of us become self-employed.

The study addresses myths about us:• Retirement means the end of work.

Not so. Fully 80 percent of respondentssaid they work because they want to.

• Retirement is a time of decline. No,again. The majority said that work keepsthem young and holds off physical and

mental decline. They like to get out ofthe house and be around others.

• People work past retirement agebecause they need the money. Twiceas many said they work to stay active,not for the money.

• Retirees who work keep the sametype of career. No, over half haveswitched to new types of work, pre-ferably with more fun and less stress.

Do the working retired have anyadvice for us? Yes. Be willing to try newthings, do something you enjoy evenif it pays less, and keep up with all thenew technology.
