In 1952, songwriters Al Hoffman andDick Manning wrote “It Takes TwoTo Tango.” As we reach our matureyears, we learn that it takes two to

accomplish most things, the greatest ofthese… “finishing a sentence.” Just don’tknow what one would do if, in the middleof a statement when the main word goesmissing, your good friend or family mem-ber wasn’t there to fill in the blank.

Like they say, You can haunt any houseby yourself, Be a man or a mouse by your-self, You can act like a king on a throne,There are many things that you can do alone

Sometimes it takes two… just to finishthe sentence!

Sitting at Cracker Barrel with Mary,we talked about many things. Each of ustotally understood what the other was try-ing to say… waiting to fill in the missingwords. Example: “We were walking downthe brick (blank) on the way to the (blank)when a car came by and splashed us withmuddy water!” Missing words supplied byfriend, were pathway and orthodontist. Youcan sail on a ship by yourself; Take a napor nip by yourself; You can get into debt onyour own; There are lots of things that youcan do alone.

Sometimes it takes two… just to finishthe sentence!

Walking through the mall, Sarah andBetty were discussing an upcoming eventwhen Betty said she couldn’t be therebecause: “We are planning a cruise out ofPort (blank)… you know, the place whereKennedy Space Center is located…we weregoing on the ship that’s named after (blank),the guy whose park names end in ‘world’and ‘land.’” Sarah filled in the blanks withCanaveral and Disney.

You can get very old by yourself, Catcha fish or a cold by yourself, Dig a ditch orstrike it rich all by yourself, There are lotsof things that you can do alone

Sometimes it takes two… just to finishthe sentence!

When the lottery came to Florida, twoladies went to get a couple of scratch-offsduring their lunch break. One searched fora penny to scratch her ticket. To her amaze-ment, she found that her ticket indicated awin of $1,000! Through the years, be-cause of her big win, she said she became(blank) to playing the lottery for the edu-cation and (blank) of our school children.Did she mean addicted and advancement?’(She gave it all back over the years hop-ing to win again).

You can fight like a champ by yourself,You can lick any stamp by yourself, Youcan be very brave on the phone, There arelots of things that you can do alone

It sometimes takes two… just to finishthe sentence!

These days, about 70 percent of thephone calls are from (blank) who havesomething to sell or (blank). The advan-tage is that many people have jobs as aresult of these things. How you handle thecalls is up to you. Oh, yes the missingwords: telemarketers and negotiate.

Light travels faster than sound. That'swhy some people seem real smart until theyopen their mouths to speak. Everythingwe’ve learned is all in there but the yearsof acquired knowledge take up lots of space.Thank goodness, as we become matureadults, we have the advantage of goodfriends to jump in and finish a sentencenow and then. Yes, sometimes it takes two.

Medicaid is governmentassistance for long-termcare. To qualify for Med-icaid, one must meet cer-

tain requirements as to level of carerequired, income, and assets. We nor-mally do not suggest that our clientstransfer assets, other than to the spouse,in advance, with the hope that they willlater qualify for Medicaid.

In Florida, to qualify for Medicaidafter transferring assets to people otherthan the spouse, one must make thetransfer at least five years prior toqualification. Transfers made within fiveyears are deemed effective only oncethe person otherwise qualifies for Med-icaid, not when actually made. Thus,if three years prior to application, onetransferred assets to third parties, whilethey did not qualify for Medicaid,the transfer was deemed not to haveoccurred. We sometimes apply for Med-icaid once a person otherwise quali-fies, in order to be denied, to start theclock running.

We frequently see advertisementsand seminar invitations for Medicaidqualification products. Sometimes, theseproducts involve annuities that sup-posedly can be converted to Medicaidqualification annuities once the personneeds Medicaid. Although certain annu-

ities can be used for Medicaid qualifi-cation in some situations, buying anannuity in advance may not accomplishthe intended goal. Buying a qualifiedannuity at the time Medicaid is neededis not considered a transfer of assets,so there is no need to do so in advance.

After examining clients’ assets andcircumstances, we assist clients in deter-mining eligibility for Medicaid and, ifnecessary, advising as to legal meansof altering assets, in order to qualify. Itis inappropriate to suggest that any typeof annuity, trust, or other technique willautomatically assure qualification.

If you receive information on Med-icaid-planning techniques from a non-attorney, or anybody, prior to needingnursing home care, be wary before pur-chasing a product.

Beware Of Pre-Planning Schemes

Elder Law…by Michael A. Pyle

Page 6: Seniors Today February 14, 2014

Page A-6—Seniors Today—February 14, 2014

by Peggy Goldtrap

GAG recently discovered someold 8mm films of my child-hood, and in the same box, anancient projector. He got the

grinding projector to work, revealing dis-jointed images, random events, and ghost-dancers shadowing the bedroom wall.

My family never kept lengthy records onpaper or on camera. It wasn’t our style. Idon’t have an extensive album of ‘marker’years although I have enough to quilt thepieces. Maybe I’m not nostalgic, but I pre-fer to remember people in my mind ratherthan seeing them ‘alive’ when they no longerare. Like most readers, my ‘family of origin’is gone and extended kin are scattered. Mymemories are strangers to theirs; like arandom knock on an unopened door; orpeeking in windows of a vacant house.

In these old films I saw my mother, asbeautiful as I remember her and as tense.She was a perfectionist. Her attention todetail was phenomenal. Nothing wasrelaxed or casual when there was a betterway in mind. The house was always orderly,attractive, and sheets were ironed. A baloneysandwich was a culinary production. Toher chagrin, her only daughter spooned pea-nut butter from a jar, by-passing bread. Mymother was a great cook, homemaker, andfrom time to time, a fun-filled playmate. Imiss the playmate and the scratchy filmreminded me of that.

My dad looked so young in the films andI had forgotten about the glasses he wore.Designer frames were not on his radar.DuPont gave my dad authority to makedecisions; his word could ‘hire or fire’.When he spoke, he expected people to fol-low orders.

Parents are granted no such power.Wrestling with a strong-willed girl who knewhis techniques and resented his orders wasmy dad’s Waterloo. ‘Daughter, come here!’When he forgot my first name, I knew itmeant trouble.

He taught me how to work, for which I’mthankful. My dad would be outraged in thisday and age when politicians are suggest-ing that people work less in order to getmore benefits. He would not believe thatmediocrity is the new standard of produc-tivity. If a person was going to work with orfor my dad, the job would be done right,and he held the key to right. Since I wasnot a Susie Homemaker type, the hours Ispent with him in the yard, or fixing things,maintaining the car; or threading a wiggleron a hook; his countless hours of basiceducation are priceless to me.

Poor GAG, once upon a time, wheneverhe went out of town, I did a major renova-tion project. Once I tore down a suspendedkitchen ceiling, for starters. I knew betterthan to suggest ‘we’ do it because ‘we’would have said NO. He’s never understoodthat I enjoy painting, hammering, tearingthings up to improve surroundings. Of

course, improvement is relative. No mat-ter, a fresh coat of paint, like a new hair-style, can change courses and moods andstimulate the mind to explore.

The films ‘snippeted’ houses, snow-storms, puppies, baby’s first steps, and ran-dom airplanes. Grainy inconsistent imagesflickered wildly. Repositioning the projectordidn’t improve quality. Like time itself, peo-ple sped by and I couldn’t stop them longenough to say goodbye. I hated that; it wasdepressing. I don’t want to be reminded thatthe majority of those people are dead andtheir young faces and favorite places arenevermore. Since I can’t bring ‘em backalive, or affect or control what has been, whynot leave them resting in reels?

I know people who get refreshment andcomfort from old family photos, albums, andfilms and for those people, time travel ispriceless. For me, it’s awakening in anempty room echoing with screams. Rum-maging around in the past can be a painfuldistraction: ‘woulda, coulda, shoulda’ invitegrief. There’s a corner of my mind that’sstill an infant, unaware of anything exceptthe moment; unmindful that birth holdsconsequences.

Nothing has to die as long as it believesit’s alive and dreams of the future. I believepeople can change, ‘recreating’ themselvesas long as breath is inside. Witness theremarkable Betty White, who just celebratedher 92nd birthday. Years will eventually over-whelm her, but death is competing with arapier wit honed by life met head-on.

The films will be sent to my brother’sgirls. He was the camera man more than myparents, so these reels are their historicalrecords. My nieces might enjoy seeing their‘mom’ in her first home; their dad behindthe controls of an airliner. The great-niecesand nephews will see their great-grandpar-ents beaming with pride and promise. Hope-fully, those families will feel great pleasurefrom the odd assortment of reel time andtexture and they will bring them joy.

For me, I am finished with the past andwhatever meaning it had. NOW is all myattention span will bear.

My daughter and I went toour favorite fish taco placefor dinner. We were halfwaythrough our meal when a

cute middle-age guy walked in. He caughtmy eye briefly while he waited in line at thecounter, and I could tell there was a spark.Or maybe that was the jalapeno talking.

Besides, no guy was going to pick me upwhile I ate tacos with my autistic 9-year-old.

After Cute Guy ordered, he stood by thecounter. Then he walked past our table. Katielooked up and smiled her brightestsmile. Hi, she said, loud and clear.

Cute Guy turned around. "Hi,"he said, coming over to our tableand bending down to Katie's level."What's your name?"

Katie was not expecting this.She started sucking deeply on hersoda and smiling at Cute Guy from aroundher straw.

He laughed. "So that's it? You just want-ed to say hi?"

Katie smirked. Cute Guy turned to me.He had gorgeous blue eyes that crinkledwhen he smiled. Wow. He was even betterlooking up close. “My daughter used todo that too. Say hi and then get shy.” Heglanced over at Katie. “She really is beau-tiful. She must get that from her mom.”

I kept it simple and said thank you. Imight have blushed.

He asked again for Katie's name whileshe silently pulled on the straw. "Oh," he

said with a laugh. "I can see you're justtoying with me like all the other guys."

“Actually,” I said. “I think you might bethe first stranger she's ever spontaneouslygreeted.” Cute Guy looked surprised. “Shehas autism,” I said. “So it doesn't come nat-urally for her like it does for other kids.”

Cute Guy didn't bat an eye at this rev-elation. "Wow," he said to Katie. "I'm flat-tered that you decided I was worthy ofyour very first hello. You did it like a pro."

Katie beamed at him. I could tell shewas thinking, “Now THIS GUY wouldmake an EXCELLENT daddy.”

“Hey, Katie,” I said. “What'syour name?”

“I'm Katie,” she mumbledfrom around the straw.

“Hi, Katie,” he said. “What abeautiful name for a beautifulgirl. I'm pleased to meet you.”

She burbled into her soda, andCute Guy laughed. “She's a sweetheart.You've really done a great job with her.”

I wanted to marry Cute Guy withouteven knowing his name. I glanced at hishand resting on the table. No ring.

The guy at the counter called Cute Guy'snumber. “Sorry,” he said. “Got to go. Seeyou later, Katie.”

Katie grinned. “Hi,” she said.Cute Guy and I both laughed. He flashed

his gorgeous smile, winked, and walkedaway. I was basking in the glow of thisunexpected encounter when it dawned onme that Katie had managed to pick up aguy on my behalf.

Healthy Food Choices

Making much healthier foodchoices is one small life-style change that can resultin benefits for a healthier

you. Most people notice that they gener-ally feel better when they eat a regulardiet of healthy foods that includes lots ofvariety. Even small changes in your foodchoices can help reduce your risk for devel-oping certain conditions such as heart dis-ease, diabetes, and obesity. We’re not talkingabout eliminating your favorite foods. Youcan still enjoy them while keeping your totaldiet in balance.

One of the most valuable tools individu-als have available to help in making goodfood choices is the food label. The foodlabel gives you the power to compare foodsquickly and easily so that you can judgewhich products best fit into a healthy diet.For example, if you are working to reduceyour sodium intake, the nutrition facts onthe food label tells you the sodium contentof the product. You can compare “like”products and choose the one that containsless sodium.

If you eat one of your favorite foods thatare high in saturated fat, you can chooseother foods during the day with lower sat-urated fat to balance your total daily intake.The ingredient lists and nutrition facts onthe label help you make these choices.

Here are some additional tips:• Choose lean meats and poultry and

prepare them by baking, broiling, or grilling.

Protein is a critical nutrient for older per-sons, since muscle mass decreases with age;we need to be sure to get an adequate but notexcessive amount in our diet.

• In a restaurant, choose steamed, grilled,or broiled dishes instead of fried or sautéed.

• Look for foods low in saturated fats,Trans fats, and cholesterol. Most of the fatsyou eat should come from polyunsaturatedand monounsaturated fats like those foundin fish, nuts, and vegetable oils.

• Eat fresh fruits and vegetables whenpossible. In addition to vitamins and min-erals, they provide us with water that helpsthe metabolic processes in the body andkeeps them functioning properly.

• Pick foods that provide dietary fiber,like fruits, beans, vegetables, and wholegrains. A diet adequate in fiber helps keepdigestion regular but also promotes nor-mal blood glucose and blood cholesterol.

• Choose beverages low in added sug-ars. Check the ingredient list for Sucrose,glucose, high fructose corn syrup, cornsyrup, maple syrup, and fructose andavoid them.

Q: I have three glass bowls from the1950s. A dealer in my area has identi-fied them as being pieces of Vaselineglass. What is Vaseline glass, and is itcollectible?

—Emma, Conway, AKA: Vaseline glass is a transparent yel-

lowish-green or greenish-yellow glass,so named because it is close to the colorof Vaseline petroleum jelly. When firstmade, it was marked as canary glass.Early Vaseline glass gets its color fromuranium oxide when added to lead glass.The result is a glass that will flash twocolors in sunlight and fluoresce underultraviolet light. Other yellow-greenglass will not. Yes, it is collectible, andprices depend on the piece and whereit is being sold.

***Q: My dad was a carpenter and had

quite a tool collection. I am in theprocess of liquidating his estate and ithas now come down to his tool room.Can you advise me?

***Q: I have a walking stick with Jimmy

Carter/'76 on one side of the handleand For President on the reverse. Mydad worked as a volunteer during Car-ter's two presidential campaigns, and Iassume that is when he acquired it.Any value?

Even though they are “man’sbest friend,” most dogs willhave their moments of mis-behavior. Dogs might bark

too often, jump on visitors, or try to escapeout an open door, to name a few commonissues. The good news is that most dogswill work to earn your praise. Most dogsrespond well to owners using positive rein-forcement training methods.

While punishment has been included as adog training method, this can often be con-fusing to dogs. Instead of learning that abehavior is wrong, a punishment may justteach them to behave that way when you are

not around. Punishing fearful or aggressivedogs may actually amplify those behaviors.When using positive reinforcement, yourdog will learn to perform correct behaviors.

When training with positive reinforce-ment, it is important to present your dogwith his reward immediately. If you wait toolong, they may be confused at why they arebeing rewarded. Have a high-value rewardlike a small piece of hot dog for when yourdog displays the behavior you are seeking.You can also use a clicker to associate thesound with the treat, adding another level ofunderstanding for your dog.

Do not reward your dog’s negative be-haviors. This seems like common sense, but

we often overlook the ways we are reward-ing unwanted behaviors. For example, if yourdog barks at you anytime he wants to go out-side, and then you let him out, you are reward-ing his barking. Instead, try to ignore thesebehaviors by turning your back or walkingaway. Once the dog stops barking, you cantell him to sit, and reward him for doing so.

When working with your dog, keep itsimple. While dogs can learn hand signalsand a few basic words, they do not under-stand English. Do not expect your dog tounderstand a command that is a full sen-tence. Try to keep all commands to one ortwo short words like stay or down. Be con-sistent with your training, and you should

start to see the positive re-sults you are looking forfrom your dog.

HHS Offers DogTraining

Cindi Walsh, CPDT, is the HHS AnimalBehavior Manager. Bring your dog to groupdog-training classes right here at the HHSshelter. The four-session course is just $35for dogs adopted from HHS, and $45 forothers. If you prefer a one-on-one trainingsession for your dog, that is available aswell. Call HHS at 386.274.4703.

The battle surrounding meatand livestock productionranks among the longest-waged and hardest-fought

in American history. It is a debate thatdates back even to the Colonial era. Forher new book, Iowa-based author andhistorian Maureen Ogle sifted throughmore than 200 years of government doc-uments, agriculture trade magazines,newspapers, and personal accounts toserve up an unbiased look at how theAmerican meat industry was shaped, bywhom, and to what end.

Ogle believes that meat and its con-sumption help define us as Americans,and she began her research guided bytwo main goals: to educate herself aboutlivestock production and meat process-ing, two of this country's biggest indus-tries, and to pass along what she learnedso that we would better understand howmeat gets to our plates.

Her research provided some surpris-ing and, yes, shocking facts. One of hermore startling findings concernedmanure lagoons. As a way of cuttingproduction costs, livestock producers

began constructing and maintainingwhat amounts to open sewage tanks.Even though these lagoons have becomerather common, few people—includingfarmers, public health officials, andeven engineers—understand the long-term consequences of these storageareas, especially when catastrophicflooding occurs.

In Meat We Trust: An UnexpectedHistory Of Carnivore America overturnsmany of our widely held assumptionsabout meat and meat production inAmerica. Chicken, so popular today,was rare in urban American kitchensuntil the mid-20th century. Confinementlivestock systems were born on familyfarm; corporate producers did not adoptthe practice until the 1970s.

In Meat We Trust addresses many ofthe big questions concerning our car-nivorous future. As Ogle writes, “Wewon't transform our meat culture bytaming Big Food or replacing Big Agwith a locavore-centered, alternativefood system, but by examining oursense of meat entitlement and theway it contributes to the high cost ofcheap living.”

Q:With three teenagers in the house,the current tank heater is just not ade-quate to keep hot water available. Willa tankless heater solve the problem?Which do you thinnk is better, an elec-tric or gas heater?

—Sal in Southern California

A: While I like the concept of tan-kless water heaters—they provide hotwater on demand, rather than storingwater in a tank and keeping it warm—it's really important for homeowners todo their research before deciding tojump to this system.

Electric tankless heaters, for exam-ple, look like a good deal up front. Theycost about a third to one-half as muchas gas tankless heaters. However, instal-lation can be expensive: most electricheaters require a dedicated 30-amp cir-cuit, meaning an electrician will haveto come in to properly wire the house.In older homes, the installation can bepretty painful on the wallet.

Gas tankless heaters cost more upfront, but installation may not be asexpensive. An installer will need to set

up the gas connection, and your gassystem may need some modification.

With either type, you still will have todeal with the problem of adequate hot-water supply. Placing high demand onthe heater—such as running a shower,the dishwasher, and the hot water tapin a sink at the same time—will make itmore difficult for the unit to heat waterto the correct temperature, meaningeverybody starts getting tepid water.

Homeowners I've spoken with whohave tankless heaters are pretty happywith them. They have experienced a fewissues, such as not knowing they needto flush the heating system once per year.Because of the expense involved, findout how much water your family usesand track how much hot water is usedduring each day. Talk with the tank-less heater dealer about the right sys-tem based on your needs, compareaverage annual costs (in electricity orgas) of the system compared to a tra-ditional tank heater, and make sureyou know up front what installationwill entail and how much it will cost.

“For pastry cooking, try grating fro-zen butter into the flour. It cuts in bet-ter and will stay cool longer. This helpswhen I'm making shortbread, as theflour and butter need to be combined.I don't end up having to put it in thefridge to cool it back down.”

• Here is an ingenious way to storemarkers: Collect enough toilet paperrolls to fill a shoebox standing upright.Paint or decorate the outside of the

• When you're finished pan-fryingsomething, add a bit of water to the panand put it back on the still-warm burnerwhile you eat. When you come back toclean up after dinner, the pan drippingswill slide right off!

Dear Paw’s Corner: My boyfriendregularly allowed my cat to jump ontothe table during dinner and would feedBaxter right from his plate. We're nolonger a couple, but Baxter is still withme, and he insists on jumping onto thetable and begging food.How can I break him ofthis habit?

—Janine in Reno, Nevada

Dear Janine: It can betough to break a bad habitin a cat, especially onethat was allowed to per-sist for so long. You maynever be able to com-pletely train Baxter tostay off the table or tonot beg, but you can dis-courage such behavior.

Don't feel guilty about doing it, either.Baxter likely will yowl pitifully at you asyou eat dinner without him. Don't allowhim on the table at all.

How do you do that? Easy. WhenBaxter moves to jump onto the table,

either hiss at him or shake something athim that will frighten him slightly. Manyowners use a can of pennies, which rat-tles loudly when shaken. Others simplywave a rolled-up newspaper at their cat,and that's enough to make their pet stop.

Repeat this hiss or penny-can shakeeach and every timehe tries to climb on-to the table.

Whenever Baxterstays down throughthe whole meal—or immediately afteryou finish eating,you should showerhim with praise.

To make this eveneasier, try feedingBaxter shortly beforeyour dinnertime. Ifyou're unable to do

that, insist that he stays off the tableand doesn't get away with that behav-ior either with you or with guests.

Since 2009, Medicare hasbeen tracking the best andworst hospitals for knee-and-hip replacement surg-

eries. Both are generally consideredto be elective surgeries. It has identi-fied 95 hospitals where patients arelikely to have problems after, and 97hospitals where patients are likely tohave a good recovery.

While Medicare has been longtracked other markers—such as deathrates, heart attacks, and patient ratingsof hospitals—this is the first time it'sfollowed knee and hip surgeries.

Of the 95 hospitals with problems,there were nine that also had high com-plication and readmission rates. Of the97 hospitals with good patient recov-ery, 25 ranked as being better in bothcomplications and readmissions.

This new information has been addedto the Hospital Compare site at medicare.gov a welcome addition for patientswho need to choose a hospital. Hospi-tal Compare recently added ratings forhospitals with two types of infections,

so clearly the site is continuing to growand being seen as useful.

These ratings are going to matter tohospitals as well—if found to have lessthan stellar rankings, Medicare pays thehospitals less. Later in 2014, the hip-and-knee replacement surgeries also willbe counted when it comes to possiblepenalties in payments.

If you're in line for hip- or knee-replacement surgery, you'll not onlywant to pick your hospital, you'll wantpre-surgery advice. Most hospitals willrefer you to a class on what to expect.Setting up your home environment,arranging for help, having a low bedready, stocking up on food, movingthings so you don't have to reach highor bend low—all of these, and more,can make for a faster recovery. Online,a good place to start is the Knee SurgerySuccess on Spryliving.com

Seniors Today’sFlower Power Fest

Ihave been going to the gym foryears, hoping to keep my bodystrong and my bones straight. Mymother had severe osteoporosis,

and I was deter- mined to do all I could toprevent that from happening to me. So Iworked out—hard.

On this particular day, I was pressingthrough my 20th pushup with a metal weightperched on the middle of my back when Iheard a woman's voice say, “I don't likethis.” When I finished, I looked up and sawa familiar face, a woman who had beengoing to the gym regularly like me.

She finished her workout and left whileI was just at the beginning of mine. Ourtrainings frequently overlapped, so we hadthe chance to talk while we sweated.

Later that week, as she was leaving andI was coming in, I said on a whim, “Wouldyou like to meet for lunch some day?”

“Sure,” she said.We made a date for the following Friday

after our workouts. On the day we were supposed to get

together, our trainer handed me a note. Itwas an apology. My gym friend was calledin to work and wouldn't be able to meet me.I thanked him for the message, stuffed itin my purse and went on with my train-ing. It made me a little edgy. Had I beentoo pushy? We had never really chatted

about anything substantial. Would it beembarrassing for both of us? Had shethought about our meeting and decided itwas a bad idea after all?

When we met again she was the one tobring up our getting together. So we madeanother date. This time she stayed on thetreadmill while I exercised and waited forme. We left together and went to a localrestaurant in the same shopping center.

As we settled down we looked at eachother across the table, and before we knewit, we were halfway through our meals anddeep into conversation. We learned moreabout each other as we ate our salads thanwe had discovered in all the years during ourworkouts. We found that we had similarphilosophies and interests. We talked aboutfamily and travels and whatever else poppedinto our minds. Almost two hours passedbefore we decided we had better move on.

We had parked our cars side by sidewithout even knowing it.

“I decided,” she said, “that I only wantto be friends with someone who speaks tomy heart.”

Then she smiled warmly and I knewshe meant me. I knew that I now had a girl-friend who would be part of my life in andoutside of the gym.

It was noted Irish author and witOscar Wilde who made the followingsage observation: “There are only twotragedies in life: one is not getting whatone wants, and the other is getting it.”

The very first CD of a musicalrecording was made in 1982. The al-bum was The Visitors by Swedish popsuperstars ABBA.

Immigrants arriving at New York'sEllis Island in the early years (1892-1920s) were given bananas to eat. Manyhad never seen a banana and didn't knowhow to eat one—some ate the wholething, peel and all.

In the small African nation of Swazi-land, the Civil Aviation Authority hasset a ceiling of 500 feet on light air-craft. These aircraft, as well as kites andremote controlled toys, are not allowedto go above that limit. Also includedin the category of light aircraft arebroomsticks. Any witch who flies on abroomstick above that limit is subject

to a fine of more than $50,000 andpossible arrest.

If you're thinking about moving toanother country, you might want toconsider Finland. In that country,employees are offered, on average, 44paid vacation days every year. Ofcourse, you might want to consider thateven in the warm southwestern part ofthe country, winters last about 100 days,with snow covering the ground frommid-October to early May.

The name of Iowa comes from aNativeAmerican language. The originalword, ayuxba, means sleepy ones.

Early science-fiction author E.E. DocSmith wasn't just a writer; he also wasan engineer. He's the guy who figuredout how to get powdered sugar to stickto doughnuts.

Thought For The Day: “To be capa-ble of embarrassment is the beginningof moral consciousness. Honor growsfrom qualms.”

—John Leonard
