When you are driving downDaytona’s InternationalSpeedway Blvd. (formerlyVolusia Ave. to us oldies)

you come upon a giant Erector set! A friendnamed it that, correctly, for in the last fewweeks the Speedway has been experienc-ing tremendous growth and expansion…and stands tall above all businesses locatedon the south side. The metal parts thatform the basics of construction truly looklike a giant Erector set. It’s easy to seethat the frontage of the speedway coversnearly a mile.

“Daytona Rising is a $400 million re-imagining of an American icon—DaytonaInternational Speedway.” This information,found on their website, tells us that theyhave five re-designed entrances leading toescalators and elevators that will takeyou to three different concourse levels.That’s only the beginning. When all issaid and done, there will be a seating capac-ity for 101,000.

When we moved to Daytona Beach, localresidents were taking their chances and buy-ing stock in the Speedway to bring the alreadypopular races from the beaches to a newhome. My parents were managing a motelat the time and my artistic brothers, know-ing that the motel was to be painted soonafter the races, asked if they could do apainting of a grandstand on the front of themotel. They did! Then in front of the grand-stand, on the street, was placed a real racecar that they named Many Miles Sykes.People came from all around to see thepainting and the car. Those were the dayswhen Daytona Shores was becoming a cityof its own.

From the time we came here, my sonstarted going to the race track and I doubthe has ever missed being there when thecalendar is set for the races. In time, hebegan to take his vacation time to work at

the track. That covers more years than Ican say. All that time, many local residentsstayed home because of the horrendousflow of traffic. In those early days, if youwere driving somewhere, you would feelthat you hadn’t made a move for hours.

Our singers, Famous Beach Chorus SweetAdelines, let the track master know that wewould be willing to sing the Star SpangledBanner. As a result we were invited to singthat year (my first time in all those yearsthat we lived here that I went to the Speed-way). It was an unforgettable experiencefrom the get-go. We were greeted by themost amiable people in the world—escortedand driven to the stage where we sang forthe opening. Wow! What an experience.To hear your voices on a speaker systemlike that was like hearing from heaven. Wewere so awestruck at the finish that wecouldn’t find our voices to speak of it (butwe’ve talked about it ever since).

The lights were a great addition to theSpeedway, allowing night races etc. With allthat growth, many of theearly problems of traf-fic and parking havebeen alleviated to a greatextent. In spite of otherspeedways being built,there will never be onelike Daytona Interna-tional Speedway!

Day-To-

Day Life…by Kathy M. Bryant


by George Goldtrap

Idon’t like critics, who, according toWebster, analyze and form valuejudgements. The problem is, so muchof what they judge is subjective or

relative. It’s the ole ‘beauty in the beholder’seye’ principle. Now, having said that, I’mgoing to criticize television weather shows.

Did you hear the joke about ‘HowWeather Forecasters Were Born?’

Once upon a time there was a king whohad a royal weather forecaster. When theKing would go out to court the future Queen,he would consult this royal forecaster asto what clothes to wear.

One day the royal forecaster said theweather would be fair. As the King walkeddown a country road to his lady fair’s home,a farmer who was plowing in a nearbyfield called to him saying, “Oh King! Youhad better go back to the castle and changeyour clothes, for very shortly now it’s goingto rain a gully washer and a swizzle swazzle.”

The King said, “That is not true, for myroyal forecaster says the weather will befair.” Sure enough though, it did rain a gullywasher and a swizzle swazzle.

The King then sent for the farmer andinquired of him how he could forecast theweather so accurately? The farmer replied,“Very easy. When my mule, which pullsmy plow, swishes his tail from left to rightit always rains a gully washer and a swiz-zle swazzle.”

Immediately the royal weather forecasterwas dismissed and replaced by the farmerand his mule.

That’s the way it is to this day. There aremore jackasses forecasting the weather thanyou can shake a stick at!

Less you think me serious, know this—it takes one to know one. I speak fromexperience.

As a veteran of 30+ years in broadcast-ing, seventeen of them doing televisionweather, I’ve been there—done that! Atone point in my career I did 18 weathershows a week. I’ve flown into the eye ofhurricanes, and been to more storm watchseminars than I care to remember. Was Iany good at it? I’ll let the viewers be thejudge of that, but I will tell you this—myforecasting was 100 percent! I was 80 per-cent correct, 20 percent of the time.

While doing weather in South Floridafor almost eight of those years, I had a TVweatherman friend at NBC in New York.He once asked, “Goldtrap, how on earth doyou get a weather job in South Florida andsecondly, when you do, what do you do?”I think he was inferring that short of a hur-ricane there is no weather to report in SouthFlorida. He wasn’t wrong. For years I tapedthe 11 P.M. weather at 6:30 P.M. and wenthome. When my weather ran, I was asleep.

It’s not like I didn’t have critics. Oneviewer wrote that I had the boniest fingershe had ever seen. Others complained because

I mispronounced the name of their hometown. (You try getting Sue out of Sioux.)Naturally, it was always my fault when itrained on somebody’s golf parade. Theworst insult was the night someone calledmy house and asked, “is the coast clear?”

My criticism is that news types cannever see the bright spots—in this casethe sunshine. Why, for example, can’t itbe partly sunny just as easily as partlycloudy. Zig Zigler once told me I was theonly weatherman he knew that looked onthe bright side.

Partly cloudy is just the beginning. Wecan’t have just cold, we’ve got to have windchill factor‚ and ‘it feels like’ reporting. Wecan’t have instrument stations or weatherstations, we need Storm Warning Centers.Really, like there’s something we can doabout it? My favorite thing to hate is whenthey interrupt a critical story line, a tightrace, or close ball game to report a possibletornado alert. Where, Sioux Falls, SD?

Reminds me of the lady who heard threetornado alerts, ran into her yard each time,only to find it hadn’t happened. Next timeshe stayed in the house and the storm blewher into Oz. “That’s more like it” she said!

Why not just report rain? Why must Iknow the percentage of chance or the exactmoment when rain will fall in my yard.It’s not like rain is threatening. It’s beauti-ful, it’s useful, it’s wet. It’s rain people, justrain, not a national security announcement.One of PBS’s redeeming factors is theydon’t have weather personnel with certifi-cation seals in terrorizing.

Last week I was amused by a promo-tion released by the Weather Channel, homeof TV weather people too boring to makeit in real TV that is actually watched bysomeone. The promotion touted a seriesthey told me I wouldn’t want to miss. Some-thing like… Tragic Tornadoes, HorrendousHurricanes, Terrible Thunderstorms, Cat-astrophic Cyclones, Disastrous Droughts,and Fatal Floods. Really!

Yea, I just might be able to miss those.I’d rather watch Singing In The Rain or TheSunshine Boys!

Nuff said. Won’t matter anyway. TV isdriven by ratings, not logic. If they were dri-ven by logic there’d be nothing on after 9P.M. Besides, I’ve got to go batten down thehatches, a thunderstorm’s a coming!!! Onewas spotted in Nebraska just yesterday.

Q: I have a Mammy cookie jarmarked McCoy. I paid $300 for it at ayard sale, and I was told it is from the1940s. It is 10 inches high and in almostperfect condition.

—Laura, St. Charles, MOA: You purchased a reproduction.

An authentic Mammy Cookie Jar fromMcCoy is a full 11 inches high. Evenif it had been an old one, you never-theless overpaid. Authentic Mammy jarsgenerally sell in the $150 to $250 rangedepending on condition.

***Q: I have several dozen View-Master

reels that I acquired during the 1950s.Are they worth keeping?

—Barbara, Watts, OKA: There is an excellent reference

that should be helpful for you to deter-mine values: Stereo Views: An Illus-trated History And Price Guide by JohnWaldsmith and published by KrauseBooks. Most of the View-Master reelsI've spotted in area shops and antiquemalls have been priced in the $2 to $5range. As I often mention in this col-

umn, there are exceptions to every rule.For example, a package of 15 reels fea-turing views of the 1939 New YorkWorld's Fair recently sold at auctionfor $175.

***Q: I began collecting glass insulators

about 40 years ago, and I have managedto gather about 200 different ones. Isthere a reference so I can begin deter-mining values?

—Stan, Longmont, COA: One of the better references is

Insulators: North American GlassInsulators Price Guide by Donald R.Briel. Briel has more than 600 in hispersonal collection and is consideredan expert in this field of collecting. Youcan purchase his book at Amazon. comA group for collectors is the NationalInsulators Association. Contact is www.NIA.org

by Samantha MazzottaQ: I've heard plenty of my neighbors

complain about being stuck inside thiswinter and unable to do much outdoormaintenance work. Well, I've beenaround long enough to know there'splenty of work to do inside, too. Thinkyou can remind folks about some impor-tant stuff they could be doing whilewaiting for the weather to break?

—Oldster Stan, Buffalo, NY

A: Stan, that's very true. While beingstuck indoors can be maddening, thereare plenty of smaller home-maintenancetasks to take care of—even if it's toocold or snowy to get out to the home-improvement store. Here are a few:

• Descale your coffeemaker or elec-tric kettle: Check the manufacturer'scleaning instructions online, but in mostdrip brewers you can flush several ouncesof white vinegar through the system,rinsing thoroughly with clear water.

• Clean your dishwasher: Removeany parts that can be lifted out easily,such as racks, utensil holders, washarms, and filter. Soak smaller parts ina sinkful of vinegar-water solution and

wipe down the racks, dishwasher inte-rior and the door seal. Rinse and replaceall the items, then run the empty dish-washer through a cycle to finish.

• Clean the garbage disposal byadding a few ice cubes and lemon peelsand cycling it. Rinse with running water.

• Clean the wash tub of your clotheswasher by filling it with hot water andone quart of white vinegar. Let it agi-tate for a minute and then pause thecycle so that the water sits for an hour;then resume the wash cycle to rinse.

• Vacuum the space your clothesdryer where the lint filter sits. Inspectthe dryer vent for lint buildup and re-move any lint you find.

• Check child- and pet-proof latchesand outlet covers, and replace any thatare broken.

• Vacuum out the heat registers ineach room, being sure to replace thefloor vent covers immediately afterwardso pets don't accidentally crawl in.

Come and see for yourself the Indigo Manor Difference


These past several years havereally thrown people for aloop. For many, their planssimply came unraveled and

it meant serious disruptions to theirretirement efforts, possibly even a longterm delay in their ability to retire atall. That's why it's so critical to under-stand, not only your plan and your invest-ments, but your own financial advisor.In fact many decisions you make todaywill effect you and your family for yearsto come. The importance of construc-tive, knowledgeable, and yes, indepen-dent advice is becoming more soughtafter for many retirees.

So what is an independent financialadvisor? Well let's start with a better un-derstanding of captive advisors. Captiveadvisors work more like an employee ofthe firm. Many times these firms maketheir own investment or insurance plansknown as proprietary products.

Why would a company hire a captiverepresentative? The answer is simple—to promote the sale of their “propri-etary investment or insurance products.”Unfortunately the best way to describethis relationship, is like trying to fit asquare peg in a round hole. Though theirproducts may be suitable, they may notbe the best solution available for aclient's situation. Not to demonize theseadvisors, because many times their posi-tion with the firm has been a wonder-ful opportunity for them to grow theirpractices. In fact my start in this indus-try came as a captive advisor but ulti-mately lead me to leave the comfort ofbeing captive and take the less knownpath of independence.

This still leaves us with the ques-tion, so what is an independent advisor?Interestingly, there may not be muchat all that's different between the two.An independent advisor may still havea large firm they work with, but are notconsidered employees of that firm.

In-stead they are treated more likea subcontractor but fall under the same

scrutiny and legal obligations as cap-tive advisors with regards to the finan-cial regulatory industry. However, in myexperience, independent advisors arenot beholden to their firm. They havefar more freedom to work on behalf oftheir clients, helping them identify thebest, most appropriate investment orinsurance products available.

Just because someone is an inde-pendent advisor, certainly doesn't meanyou should blindly trust them, either.I'm sure there are plenty of indepen-dents and captives out there that aremore interested in their own financialgain than that of their clients'. Eitherway, ask your advisor questions. Knowthat there are potentially many solu-tions to any problem and if you'vesecond guessed the advice you've beengetting from your advisor, as you readthis, then please call our firm for acomplimentary second opinion.

This tip will change your life whenpeeling eggs: After you have hard-boiledyour eggs, drain them and leave themin the pot. Put the lid on the pot andshake. Shake in all directions for up toa minute. The eggs practically slip rightout of their shells. Just rinse and prep.

—JoAnn

“I feed my kitty cat outside on theback porch, but she eats a little at a timeand whenever she took a break, the antswould be all over her food. Now I servemy little princess in a teacup and saucerI found at the thrift store. I put the foodin the cup, and then put a little waterin the saucer. The teacup sits in thewater on the saucer. The ants won't getthe food ever, because they can't crossthe water to get at it. Kitty is veryhappy now that she can take her time.”

—O.W. in Arkansas

“To distinguish your keys, especiallyhouse keys that have similar stamps,simply paint the key head with differ-ent colors of nail polish. You could even

add a very subtle dot of the matchingpolish on the key lock if you wish. Reap-ply as needed.”

—S.L. in Oregon

Use a flat iron to iron your collar ifit's rumpled. This also works to straightenout button holes that have crimped.

“To mark the end on a roll of tape,save your bread tabs. Stick one on thetape end and it will be ready and easyto start the next time. If it's a thick tape,you can use two clips—one at eitherside of the tape. This way, it won't spliton you.”

What do you think the pur-pose of your kidneys is?Most people think the kid-neys’ purpose is strictly

urine output, and if you are making urine thenyour kidneys are working. That is wrong! Youor a loved one could have kidney diseaseand not have a clue because kidney dis-ease is a silent killer. The leading causes ofkidney disease are diabetes, high blood pres-sure, and hereditary diseases such as poly-cystic kidney disease and lupus. Your kidneysare the size of your fist and sit in the lowerback region. The job of the kidneys is tofilter toxins and waste through your urine.If your kidneys are not working properlyyou can still make the same amount of urine,but those toxins will stay in the body, andthat’s not good!

People often come in to the doctor’s of-fice and hospital never knowing they havekidney disease. Before I go on, you shouldknow that I am not a physician. I am a kid-ney educator who wants to give you infor-mation on kidney disease in the hope thatyou will take action to understand and ifnecessary, slow down the progression ofkidney disease. Not everyone understandsphysician terminology, so I am writing onmy level of understanding in the hope thatjust one person will challenge their physi-cian to see at what percent their kidneysare functioning.

The kidneys have five stages that tell usat what percent the kidneys are functioning,and these are important for you to know.Stages are based on Glomerular FiltrationRate (GFR). The GFR is calculated basedon a formula for your age, race, sex, andSerum Creatinine. The serum creation is auseful lab to evaluate renal dysfunction,but since we are looking for simple, theGFR is what we want to ask about. TheGFR tells us at what percentage out of100 the kidneys functioning and at whatstage of kidney disease we are in.

Serum Creatinine Levels: 0.6 to 1.6Stage 1: Normal – 100 to 90%Stage 2: Mild GRF – 60 to 89%Stage 3: Moderate GFR – 30 to 59%(60% and below need referralto Nephrologists)Stage 4: Severe GFR – 15 to 29% (Kidney Education and regular bloodwork—changes in medication and diet)

Stage 5: Kidney Failure – 15% or less(Kidney Modality Education/Dialysis)Example: 41 year old white male, SerumCreatinine at 1.6 has GFR of 48 – Stage 3Kidney Disease(Calculation from http://www.davita.com

/gfr-calculator/index.cfm) If you look at the Serum Creatinine levels

1.6, you would think this is normal. How-ever, if we put the calculation in place thatthe laboratories do, we show stage 3 kid-ney diseases.

When the kidneys function is 45 percentor less you need a referral to a Nephrolo-gist. Often, patients get the Urologist andNephrologists confused as both are kid-ney specialists. However, you need to seea Nephrologist for kidney disease.

People often tell me they have been seeinga physician for years and are just being toldthey have kidney disease at stage 5. They arescared and angry at this point and under-standably so. This is sad to me due to the factthat kidney disease progression, if chronic,can be seen 10 to 20 years prior to end stagerenal disease. Seeing a Nephrologists at stage3 and having kidney education can add yearsto one’s life and years without dialysis. It is afact that educated patients slow down the pro-gression of kidney disease. When you see thenephrologists, they will monitor your kidneysand other problems that you may havebecause of the kidney disease. Among theseare anemia and bone disease. Your nephrolo-gists can only tell how your kidneys are doingby drawing your blood.

It is important to keep all your doctorappointments and always bring in all medica-tions, even those taken over the counter. 1 outof 6 Americans are at risk for kidney diseaseand most do not know this. Ask your doctortoday what percent your kidneys are func-tioning at and get a referral to Nephrologistsif under 45 percent. This simple step couldkeep you off the dialysis machine for years.For information on kidney disease and for freekidney education on home dialysis optionsgive me a call today and remember educationis power as you have a voice and a choice.

A salute to legendaryartists Artie Shaw,Jimmy Dorsey,Woody Herman,and the King of Swing,Benny Goodman

Two old men sat on thesteps at an old countrystore I stopped at manyyears ago. I was traveling

through Mississippi for my job at thetime and decided I wanted a nice colddrink. It was hot and sultry, a lot likeit has been here over the past fewweeks.

As I walked up the steps I spoke tothe two fellows. Just the usual, “Hey,how are you doing?” type of comment.Both of them spoke back with some-thing about the heat and I went insideand bought me one of those big “gullywasher” drinks that were popular atthe time. It was cold, too.

A barn fan was set up on the porchand the two older gentlemen were sit-ting in such a way as to catch some ofthe breeze as it blew across the porchon the front of the store. A few straightchairs were scattered around the porchand I decided to take a few minutes andenjoy the breeze the fan was generating.

As I sat down in one of the chairs,the older-looking man spoke to me.“Traveling through?” he asked. I toldhim I was, and then he asked wherewas I going. “To Yazoo City,” I said. Wesat and talked for a few minutes and Ifound out the two men were brothers.

One called himself Junior and the othersaid his name was Silas.

“Why you going to Yazoo City onthis highway?” Junior asked. I toldhim I had driven over from Evergreenand had been looking at the map andthought this was the quickest way. “No,no, this would be the longest way,”Silas said. Then Junior and Silas startedto argue about the best way to YazooCity. Finally they decided on the bestroute for me to take to Yazoo City.

I listened to the two old men giveme long, complicated directions thatincluded turning at a fallen tree, a driedup creek bed, and an abandoned farmhouse. I was very polite and thankedthem for their help and got back onthe road and followed the map. Yousee, I had already gotten caught in oneof those short cut directions before andspent three hours in the middle of no-where trying to find my way back.

Is your cat keeping you up at night orwaking you up early in the morning?There can be many causes for this be-havior from your cat. Although cats

sleep an average of 16-18 hours a day, somecats are most active during the night hoursor very early in the morning. By nature, catsare accustomed to hunting at dawn and dusk,so even though you may not be ready to wakeup at sunrise, your cat is hungry and lettingyou know about it. Even though most petcats are indoor cats, their instincts still tellthem to hunt. If your cat is bored or hungry,they will go hunting for various objects inyour house, or begin to meow for food.

It is a common misperception that catscannot be trained. Although it can be a bitmore difficult than training a canine friend,most cats can be trained too. When workingwith your cat, try to ignore any undesirablebehaviors. For example, do not feed yourcat in the middle of the night just becauseshe is meowing. This will actually reinforceher belief that if she meows, she will getfood. Instead, take a more proactive ap-proach, and try to provide your cat withfood, attention, and other needs before goingto bed, so that your cat is satisfied.

According to cat behavior expert PamJohnson-Bennett, you may want to createa routine based around a cycle of four, which

consists of hunting, eating, grooming, andsleep. Before going to bed, let your cathunt by playing with them using toys. Thisworks best when using toys to mimic prey,such as making a toy fly through the roomlike a bird, or using a toy to scamper acrossthe floor like a mouse.

After your cat tires of playing with hertoys, allow her to eat her final portion of foodfor the day. Another option is to use an elec-tronic feeder that releases food in timedintervals. Either way, this should keep yourcat satisfied until a more acceptable timethe next morning. After eating, most catswill groom themselves and then relax forthe night.

If the problem persists,you may need to keep yourcats in a different room atnight. Make sure to keepthe room at a comfortabletemperature, with their litter box and food/water at opposite ends of the room. A bedand toys will also help them feel comfort-able. A window perch where they can watchthe morning activity also helps your catfeel at ease. If you prefer that your cats stayin your room, consider curtains that willkeep your room darker in the morning.

Dear Paws Corner: My neighborinsists that giving vitamin supplementsand homeopathic treatments to her dogGracie is key to her health. I disagreethat a pet needs extra help. Doesn't petfood provide enough nutrients?

—Les in San Diego

Dear Les: That answer really de-pends on the pet and the type of foodit's eating, and partly on the dispositionof the owner. Dogs are living beings justlike us, and need regular feeding, exer-cise and medications when they're sick. Owners naturally want their pet to be ashealthy as possible, which is why thepet supplement market continues togrow. Want your dog to have a shinycoat? There's a vitamin for that. Vitamin and mineral supplements forpets are as varied as similar supplementsfor adults, and should be given after anowner has done his or her homework onthe best vitamins for their pet. Veteri-narians often recommend specific sup-plements to help pets stay healthy orrecover after an illness or injury. Seniorpets also frequently are given certain

supplements to help with sore jointsand other health problems that accom-pany aging.

Homeopathic remedies also are pop-ular. Many owners swear by off-the-shelfgeneral treatments like Rescue Remedy,which helps calm anxious pets.

Pet foods, while providing all-aroundnutrition for dogs of different sizes,increasingly have added supplements totheir formulas. Owners should be awareof which specific supplements are intheir pet's food, to avoid giving toomuch of a particular vitamin or mineral.And of course, check with your pet'sveterinarian about whether supplementsare needed, what kind and how much.

Sometimes it takes watchfuleyes to keep seniors safe.Whether it's physical, emo-tional, or financial abuse, or

any other kind, those who come in con-tact with seniors can look for signs thatall is not well.

In banking, if you spot a senior whoseems distressed and who repeatedlytakes large sums of money out of anaccount (or changes his or her routine),that senior might be a victim of abuseor a scam. (Seniors, don't use the drive-up teller window. Go inside so staff canget to know you. Sign a new signaturecard every six months so your handwrit-ing sample is current.)

If you spot personality changes in asenior, the cause might be physical— orit might be a result of abuse. Ask what'sgoing on. If a senior who used to dressimmaculately is now wearing the sameclothes for days in a row, ask. If a senioris no longer as sociable or doesn't par-ticipate in previous activities, ask. Ifyou spot bruises or injury, ask.

In a caregiver or hospital situation,you might see lack of care or physicalabuse. A neighbor who's had relatives

move in might suddenly change his orher routines. At home, the senior mightbe denied food or medicine or mail.

If you want more information tohelp seniors, go online to the NationalCenter on Elder Abuse (www.ncea.aoa.gov) or call 1-855-500-3537. Learnabout the signs of abuse and what youcan do when you suspect it's takingplace. Check eldercare.gov or call 1-800-677-1116. You'll find informationon getting help for housing, in-homeservices, long-term care, nutrition, andabuse situations.

Seniors, if you think you're beingabused in any way, call the police. Youdon't have to put up with any type ofabusive treatment.

Ionce thought that love meant flowersand chocolates from a handsome manin a dashing tuxedo, singing love songs.I was sure that love meant being

swept off my feet by someone who thoughtI was the most beautiful girl in the world.I was blessed to find exactly that.

My wonderful soul mate appeared in mylife when I was not sure what to do withhim. I could feel that something was miss-ing—something that school, work, andfriends were not providing. When God sentLayne into my life, as cliched as it sounds,something clicked and I felt whole.

Our courtship was short but sweet. Hetook me to fancy restaurants and on car-riage rides around the city. He made melasagna and played Moonlight Sonata onthe piano. We talked for hours about every-thing and nothing. I was excited to hear hisvoice on the phone and counted the hoursuntil I could see him again.

We were married on a cold day in Feb-ruary, surrounded by family and friends.The idea of forever didn't seem like longenough to spend with someone I loved somuch, and I can honestly say that on thatday, I loved Layne with my whole heart. Icouldn't imagine loving him more.

Our first two years of marriage were fun.Sure, we had the usual adjustments, but ourlives fit together very well, and the time

passed quickly. Soon, however, the two ofus felt like something was missing.

That something turned out to be threebeautiful children who came during the nextfive years. Our lives had been fun withoutthem, but now they were hectic and crazy,and rich and full at the same time.

Gradually, I began to see how very littleI really had loved him on that cold day inFebruary. Granted, I had loved Layne withmy whole heart, but something happenedon the way to forever—my heart grew byleaps and bounds.

You see, we've experienced our share oftrials. We've seen deaths in our families,children in hospitals, and financial strug-gles. We've faced the everyday battles oftoo much to do in too little time.

Each and every challenge we've over-come—every sickness, every mistake, andevery tragedy—broke my heart.

Love looks different to me now. Insteadof flowers and chocolates. I am flattered(and grateful) when he tells me that I'mbeautiful even though I'm wearing my cut-off sweats with my hair in a crooked pony-tail. I've found that he's even more handsomesinging lullabies to our babies in hisbathrobe than when he used to wear tuxe-dos and sing love songs to me.

It was famed cultural anthropologistMargaret Mead who made the follow-ing sage observation: “One of the old-est human needs is having someone towonder where you are when you don'tcome home at night.”

If you’re like the average American,you will eat about 150 bananas this year—26 pounds’ worth.

Up until the 1500s, the accepted wayof dealing with a patient who was hem-orrhaging was to cauterize the wound,often with boiling oil or red-hot irons.It was in the latter part of the 16th cen-tury that a French surgeon namedAmbroise Pare began tying off the bro-ken blood vessels with cord. That’spretty much what surgeons do today.

It’s been estimated that a millionpigeons live in New York City.

When pop star Christina Aguilera ison tour, she insists on having a policeescort. She hates to be stuck in traffic.

Next time you’re heading to Illinois,you can stop off in Metropolis and visitthe self-declared birthplace of Superman.In honor of their hometown superhero,the citizens erected a 15-foot bronzestatue of him on Main Street.

It was Abraham Lincoln who signedinto law the legislation that created theSecret Service. That very night, he wasassassinated.

Those who study such things say thaton the 13th of every month, triskaideka-phobia causes a loss of $83 million toAmerican business due to absenteeismfrom work and other disruptions.

In the United States, more babies areborn on October 5 than on any otherday of the year. If you do the math,you’ll find that New Year’s Eve is 9months and 5 days before that.

Special to Seniors Today

On February 17 the Veterans FlagGarden, which was hosted by theVolusia Mall and managed by

Haven Hospice for the past 14 months,was decommissioned in a military cere-mony and then disassembled due to build-ing renovations.

“The Volusia County Veterans Councilwas present at the ceremony on the 17th toensure that the flags were taken downproperly,” said Haven Hospice Adminis-trator Jordan Heaps. “Haven will continueto honor veterans at Haven Hospice andhopes that the Flag Garden can continuein some form in the future.”

Commander Roger Lee Tiffany of theVeterans Council of Volusia County hasfacilitated over 20 decommissioning cer-emonies, but this was the first he’s donefor a hospice that is honoring veterans.Tiffany said he is grateful that Haven Hos-pice gave the council the opportunity tohelp coordinate the garden and event.

“The flag garden has been a great oppor-tunity to recognize the contribution of theindividuals who have fought to secure ourfreedom in this country,” said Tiffany, a for-mer sergeant in the U.S. Army. “It is para-mount that we not only respect the flags, butalso the individuals that each one stands for.”

Tiffany decommissioned the flags whilekeeping to traditions of the U.S. Army andproperly honoring the display. He is stay-

ing hopeful for the recommissioning of thegarden at a more appropriate time.

Many Haven Hospice volunteers workeddiligently on the Flag Garden at the Volu-sia Mall during its installment to honor vet-erans of the community including: DebGormley, program coordinator, BrendaGormley, who has put together over 1,000flags and dog tags for placement in thegarden; Margaret Burke, and her grand-daughter, Scarlett Moran, who positionedand cared for the flags throughout the gar-den; Elsie Simpson, who created computerrecords of all flag information; and KevinReynolds, who constructed the garden.

Flags that were placed by veterans orfamilies will be distributed at three HavenHospice offices during the week of March 3between 9 A.M. and 3 P.M. For more infor-mation or to make arrangements to pick upflags, please go to www.havenhospice.org/veteransgarden or call 386.734.7600.
