The IRS imposes a tax on life-time gifts, called the gift tax,made in excess of the annualgift tax exclusion, but it rarely

results in an actual tax. The gift tax (onlifetime gifts) is related to the estate tax(on gifts made at death). It was estab-lished to prevent lifetime transfers fromreducing the estate taxes at death. Anyperson can give up to the annual exclu-sion amount (currently $14,000) to asmany persons as desired without trig-gering gift taxes or reporting to the IRS.Gifts to spouses or charities, or paymentsof tuition or medical expenses directlyto an institution do not have to be re-ported and are not counted towards theannual exclusion. If the gift tax exemp-tion is exceeded in a year, one must fileForm 709 with the IRS to report it. Onecan pay tax at the time, but it is optional.

Taxable lifetime gifts on which taxwas not paid reduce the estate tax ex-emption applicable upon death. A per-son can leave up to $5,250,000 [2013rate] to beneficiaries on death withoutincurring federal estate taxes. Estatetaxes involve ALL assets owned by thedecedent, no matter how they are trans-ferred. If the assets exceed the estate taxexemption, determine how much estatetax exemption is available by deducting

any gift taxes reported and not paid.Then determine the “taxable estate”by deducting expenses, debts owed,amounts passing to a spouse (“maritaldeduction”), or to charities (“charita-ble deduction”). If the net is less than

the applicable estate tax exemption, nofederal estate taxes should be due. Ifthere is an excess, the excess would bemultiplied by the applicable estate taxrate to determine the estate tax.

There are other tax ramifications be-sides the two taxes discussed here, in-cluding deferred income tax in IRAs,annuities, savings bonds, etc., and taxbasis issues.

Unless a person has greater assetsthan the applicable estate tax exemp-tion, he or she can likely make unlimitedlifetime gifts without triggering gift orestate taxes.

Whatever happened to Hal-loween? How did a simplecelebration turn into a spend-a-rama second to Christmas?

Halloween is big business in accessories,decorations, and costume rental; even cos-tumes for babies? Holiday spending for Hal-loween is expected to reach $6.86 billion thisyear. This will make for the highest spend-ing in 10 years now. The average person willspend about $72 on costumes, decorations,cards, and candy. Last year this number wasjust over $66 per person.

Whatever happened to the Halloween Iremember; when you raided grandmother’scloset, or the attic, or cut out newspaper foryour own frightening designs? Did you everdestruct the linen closet for old sheets to hauntthe neighborhood as an eerie apparition? Didyou ever create a charcoal monster and thenspend weeks scrubbing it off?

Our autistic grandson came up with a gen-uinely clever Halloween costume. When hewas about 6, he wanted to be a Bread Man.I’ve never thought of a bread man as theGrimm Kneader, but Coleman did. He tooka white shirt, turned the back to the frontand asked his dad to button it.

GAG and I were asked to find an appro-priate hat. Steak n’ Shake to the rescue. Withminor adaptation the cute, military type hatturned into Coleman’s Bread Delivery.Completing the ensemble, we made customID tags, and yes, Coleman carried loafs ofbread to neighborhood doors.

Modern children are encouraged to go tothe store and buy or rent the costume of theirchoice. Disney characters are always popu-lar; X-Men, space creature, pop singers, LadyGaGa (who can forget her egg entrance). Ihate to discourage such spending in a downeconomy, but where is the creativity in cos-tume rentals. Maybe creativity doesn’t countas much as appearance or competition.

In my day and as the children grew up,anyone could become a clown with Mom’smake-up, or a zombie with white powder androuge, or Dracula with some black oil clothfor a cape. By shredding an old tablecloth, anychild could morph into The Mummy. Anaverage home is a treasure trove of theatri-cal adventure.

When I was eight, I wanted to be a cow-boy—no, not a cowgirl like Dale Evans, tooprissy. I wanted to be a cowboy, live on aranch and trail-ride the magnificent West. Mymother did not share my vision. As a compro-mise, I decided to be a gaucho. Seems likea shift appeased mother’s negative view.

I needed a black vest, white shirt, silverbelt, and a proper hat. That was the chal-lenge. Living in the South, most hats werenatural colored straw. No self-respecting gau-cho would be seen wearing a natural coloredstraw hat.

A neighbor with a large, crag-shaped headdonated a well-worn felt fedora. With a littleshaping and scissor snipping, decorative pins,and leather belts looped rope-like around thecrown, the hat could pass the pampas test.

Strapping on my Roy Rogers silver gunset, I stood and admired myself. Perfect,

almost. I needed a mask, like Zorro wore. Themask was easily cut from black construc-tion paper. Punch holes, cut string, tie to holdit securely on my face and conceal my iden-tity.Alas, I had no bolo, but no matter, it wasa great costume. I was so proud.

According to research, the first mass-pro-duced Halloween costumes appeared in storesin the 1930s as trick-or-treating became pop-ular in the United States. The practice of dress-ing up in costumes and begging door to doorfor treats dates to the Middle Ages andincludes Christmas was sailing. Halloweencostumes are traditionally modeled after

supernatural figures such as monsters, ghosts,skeletons, witches, and devils. Over time,the costume selection extended to includepopular characters.

A 1939 publication declared: ‘Hallowe’enprovided an opportunity for real strenuousfun. No real damage was done except to thetemper of some who had to hunt for wagonwheels, gates, wagons, barrels, etc., much ofwhich decorated the front street. The youth-ful tormentors were at doors demanding edi-ble plunder by the word “trick or treat” towhich the inmates gladly responded and sentthe robbers away rejoicing.’

Adults, as reported in newspapers fromthe mid-1930s to the mid-1950s, typicallysaw it as a form of extortion, with reactionsranging from bemused indulgence to anger.Likewise, as portrayed on radio shows, chil-dren would have to explain what trick-or-treat-ing was to puzzled adults.

Sometimes even the children protested.For Halloween 1948, members of the Madi-son Square Boys Club in New York Citycarried a parade banner that read ‘AmericanBoys Don't Beg.’

My first trick-or-treat experience was inIowa where Halloween is typically cold. Cos-tumes had to be fitted ‘over’ coats. We’d knockon a door imploring the homeowner to handover the loot. If the homeowner cooperated,the residence was safe. If the people wereobviously home, but didn’t welcome goblins,we’d throw corn on the porch and mark ourfrustration in soap. Fleeing the house washalf the fun, as we were satisfied we’d cre-ated chaos, mischief, and mayhem.

During a visit to Tennessee, I shared mywalk down Halloween memory lane withone of my granddaughters. Excitedly, shetold me about her latest costume creation.She’s ‘going as’ a ‘Construction Zone.’She’ll wear a long dress wrapped with reflec-tive tape. She’ll carry a ‘Caution Ahead’ signand wear a Red Safety Cone for a hat.

Am I surprised? Not really. That maniacal,sadistic specter of doom, The Bread Man, isher brother. ST

We often discuss the benefitsof getting plenty of exercisefor your dog. However, somepet owners face limited op-

tions due to a smaller house or apartment,or lack of a big yard for their dog.

Dog parks can be great for socializationand exercise, but make sure to follow goodpet owner etiquette while you are there.Keep your dog's temperament in mind. Ifthey struggle with large crowds, try a lesscrowded time of day. If your small dog tendsto bark and lunge at larger dogs, guidethem to the small dog area of the park. If,while at the park, your dog shows anysigns of aggression, it is time to removethem from the park.

Always clean up after your dog at thedog park. No one wants to walk through apresent left behind by your dog.

Dogs should be spayed or neutered andupdated on vaccinations before visiting thedog park. Puppies under four months shouldnot visit the dog park.

Take Advantage Of Falls Bounty

It’s beginning to feel like autumn. Withshorter daylight hours and dryer,cooler temperatures we have more timeto spend indoors. A natural trend is

for our food tastes to change along withthe season from lighter fares and outdoorgrilling, to hearty, robust type dishes.There’s a tendency to spend more time inthe kitchen cooking and baking. The rich-ness that Mother Nature provides in ourenvironment spills over into an array offlavor-rich food choices that are sure toplease the palette. So what are the best foodsto eat during this most colorful season?

Today’s marketing and transportationallow most markets to offer an abundanceof fresh produce from across the globe,however, whenever possible one shouldlook for locally grown products. Florida,offers a wide variety of seasonally freshfruits and vegetables. A trip to a local farm-ers market will provide an abundance offresh choices.

Fall is the season for apples, cranberries,pomegranates, and pumpkins and squash.Here in Florida, tomatoes and oranges arecoming into season as well as most of theroot vegetables. Garlic, onion, potato, car-rot, sweet potato, and yam along with avariety of squash, pumpkin, nuts, and seedsof all kinds, are all part of the fall’s bestfood choices. Energy-rich stews, casserolesand soups are always a favorite for thecooler times of the year. Fruits and veg-etables are sources of many vitamins,

minerals, and other substances that mayhelp protect from chronic diseases. Choos-ing fruits and vegetables of different colorsgives your body a wide range of valuablenutrients, like fiber, folate, potassium, andvitamins A and C. Some examples includegreen spinach, orange sweet potatoes, blackbeans, yellow corn, purple plums, red water-melon, and white onions. To add morevariety to your diet, try a new fruit and veg-etable on a regular basis.

Anytime we talk about a healthful diet,it is wise to keep in mind some standardprinciples such as: Choosing right sizedportions, employing low-fat cooking meth-ods like baking and broiling, and eating inmoderation and variety. The vibrant colorsof fall fruits and vegetables add fun andinterest to meals. Who can resist the mouth-watering smell of pumpkin pie baking inthe oven? Just wait until you taste it! ST

Across the street from the houseI lived in when I grew up wasa large patch of woods. I spentmany hours in those woods.

The woods had an air about them andoften there would be stories conjured upabout what had once happened down bythe creek or over by the big oak. Dogs wereburied there, it was told, and they wouldcome out of the ground on the full moon.An older woman who lived on the otherside of the woods was said to be able toconjure up spells.

If you are familiar with any wooded area,what you see in the daytime looks com-pletely different at night. So a rabbit oropossum or raccoon running at night givesoff the appearance of being much largerand scarier, especially if you disturb it as youare walking. It was not big a deal to gointo the woods at night and it also made formore fun, especially playing army.

As I have said many times before, mybrother Eddie was fearless and very littlewould scare him. As a matter of fact, if it ran,crawled, or slithered across the ground hewas subject to pick it up and examine it.We liked playing an especially intense gamecalled Monster. Let me explain Monster toyou: One kid was designated to be themonster and his intent was to scare youand not let you through the woods to theother side. The monster would enter thewoods a few minutes before the other kidsand hide. If you were touched in any wayby the monster you were dead. You guessedit, I got to be the monster.

I walked way into the woods and waitedby one of the main trails for the rest of thekids. One by one I got them. The only oneleft was Eddie. Now Eddie was much fasterthan I was and so I knew there was no wayI could run him down. I decided to wait forhim at the bend of the creek about halfwaythrough the woods. It was just before afull moon, so there was this eerie lightthrough the tree canopy that sparkled alongthe little creek. Eddie had figured I wouldbe waiting for him at another creek crossingand had walked farther down the creekcloser to where I was waiting on him. I satdown near a bush and waited for him to walkby, where my plans had been to jump out

and grab him. Just as he walked by I stoodup and took a couple of steps forward. Allof a sudden I could feel a hundred handshitting me.

The first thing I thought was that the oldwomen had set a trap and I would soon beturned into a donkey or worse, eaten. I letout a blood curdling cry from somewhereI didn’t even know I had. Eddie was less thana step away and heard my cry and also feltthe hands hitting his side. Then he let out ascream I had never heard before and bothof us took off running. I actually beat Eddieback to our house and was standing on theporch when he came around the corner.

Both of us were out of breath and Eddie,by this point, was crying. Both our parentscame out of the house and they thoughtfrom Eddie’s crying I had done somethingto him. His blubbering about being hit wasnot helping my cause at all and it lookedfor a minute or two that I was in for a whip-ping. I begged them not to spank me andwhen I had caught my breath I told themwhat had happened.

There is a real monster in those woods,I insisted. The next day our dad took us backinto the woods and we showed him wherethe monster with a hundred hands had triedto eat us or turn us into donkeys. Therewas a more rational explanation, however.It seems that I had stepped in the middle ofa covey of quail who were roosting by thetree I was hiding under. You see, theyform a circle and back up to each other forprotection when they roost at night. When Istepped on them they had flown up aroundme and the hundred hands were their wingshitting me. The only real good thing thatcame out this experience was that for thefirst, and sadly the last, time I actually out-ran Eddie. ST

October is not only Breast Can-cer Prevention month but alsoNon-GMO Awareness month.Genetically Modified Organisms

(GMO) are laboratory creations in whichgenes from one source (animal, plant, or achemical like pesticide) are spliced intoanother animal, plant, or even human gene.The greatest exponent of this new bio-engineering is a multi-national corpora-tion called Monsanto.

We have all heard of the Bovine GrowthHormone (rBrH). The r stands for recom-binant which means the hormone does notexist in nature. It was designed to boost acow’s milk production which it does. Itcan also makes the cow very sick within ashort time and the resultant infection showsup in the milk. When ingested it causesinflammation in the consumer—child oradult. It goes a long way in explaining whydairy products have become one of thetop food allergens in the last twenty fiveyears. It is not simply lactose intolerance.Wonder where all the gluten intolerancecame from? In exactly the same time frame,grains what were benign, have now becomethe cause of a myriad bowel tract disorderslike Crohns disease, irritable bowel disease,and colitis.

Just ask a medical doctor why these rareconditions have proliferated since the nine-teen nineties. If you don’t like the answer,then Love Whole Foods Market invites youto join a community event being held atthe Cinematique Theatre on Beach Street(near International Speedway Blvd.) indowntown Daytona Beach. On Monday,October 28 at 7 P.M. we will be showing:Genetic Roulette free! The movie featurescritical insights by our own local Dr. JosephMercola, D.O. (mercola.com) as well asnarration by Mrs. Liz Oz of Doctor Oz fame.Although the movie is guaranteed to elic-it a gut reaction, its purpose is to educateand provide solutions.

One outstanding nutraceutical which isparticularly good at reducing gut inflam-mation is curcumin derived from the spiceTurmeric. Dr. Oz, M.D. and Dr. AndrewWeil, M.D. have been singing the praisesof this spice found in Indian and Thai cui-sine. The element of the plant that givescurry its golden color, is a rhizome or tuberfrom the root called curcumin. This bio-active ingredient has now been isolatedand potentiated. “These include everythingfrom heart attacks to a dozen types of can-cer, the pain of all types of arthritis andeven “incurable” diseases like diabetes andAlzheimer’s.” That quote was made by Dr.Janet McBarron, M.D., N.D. from her lat-est publication: Curcumin-The 21st CenturyCure. It helps depression and soothes theagony of a variety of digestive disordersincluding Crohn’s disease and I.B.S. Cur-cumin is comparable with standard medicaltreatment and has no side effects.

Curcumin benefits have been well doc-umented. It was not until EuroPharma(sold under the trade name Terry Naturally)developed a patented pharmaceutical gradecurcumin called BCM-95 did we over-

come the poor absorption rates which hadpreviously hindered consistent results. BCM-95 is up to ten times more absorbable thanstandard curcumin extracts. Just as impor-tant, BCM-95 stays in the bloodstream 8to 10 hours. This is far longer than anyother curcumin currently available. Theseresults were clearly elucidated by the re-search being done at Baylor UniversityMedical Center, Houston, Texas. “BecauseBCM-95 amplifies and potentiates cur-cumin’s effectiveness,we selected it to be usedin our clinical study onthe effect of curcumin inrelation to fighting can-cer.” Reports Dr. AjayGoel, Ph.D., Director of the Gastrointesti-nal Cancer Research Lab at Baylor. Theirresults using this form of curcumin clearlyshows its effectiveness in improving patientquality of life (pain relief) for cancer victimswhile also helping to actively fight the can-cer and act as a preventative.

So who is this Terry in Terry Naturally?None other than Terry Lemerond, originalfounder of Enzymatic Therapy. He for-mulated the first standardized St. John’sWort (for depression), Black Cohosh (for hotflashes) and, of course, he single handedlyput Echinacea on the medical map. Hisstandardized Saventaro cat’s claw remains,in my experience, unequaled in Lyme dis-ease pain management verses any drug.Terry Lemerond established productionmethods that allowed nutraceuticals to bemanufactured to pharmaceutical stan-dards. Clinical studies can now be donewith standardized nutraceuticals as wellas with pharmaceutical drugs. This is whyBaylor University and other medical insti-tutions like M.D. Anderson are now doingnutraceutical research.

I have known Terry personally for overtwo decades. Our store was the first to carryEnzymatic Therapy products in north Florida.We now carry his Terry Naturally line fea-turing an entire family of BCM-95 prod-ucts. Terry is now on a nationwide tour topromote the benefits of his products.

See our billboard on I-95 North withthe banner: Got Pain? Love Whole Foods ishonored to have been selected as the soleretailer in Florida to host an evening pre-sentation by Terry on Nov. 7th at 7 P.M. at ourOrmond Beach campus. Come and enjoy anoutdoor tent event where you will get thetools to help you control all forms of inflam-mation: arthritis, gastritis, heart disease, andeven depression and cancer—without drugintervention.

by Sam Mazzotta

Dear Paw’s Corner: I'm writing inreference to your recent column abouttraining a “cool city pooch.” You're for-getting that many cities have laws abouttying up your dog to lampposts. Unlessthat “cool pooch's” owner wants to paya fine, he'd better forget about doingthat in some cities.

—S.Y., via e-mail

Dear S.Y.: That's a good point: Petowners should check city ordinancesahead of time before taking their pets outon a stroll. Are pets completely notallowed inside businesses by city law,rather than at the business owner's dis-cretion? Can you tie their leash to a lamp-post, bike stand, or outdoor table? Cana dog be off leash at any time?

As a counterpoint, many cities' leashlaws are sometimes a bit vague on thispoint. Almost all require that ownerskeep their dogs under control at alltimes, and on a leash everywhere exceptin designated off-leash areas. Municipalbuildings and schools are usually off-limits to non-service dogs, period.

Some cities, and an increasing num-ber of businesses, are making moreallowances for dogs. For example, somegrocery stores and a few departmentstores in my area, like Home Depot,allow small dogs inside as long as theystay on a leash beside their owner andare well-behaved. However, it is up tothe pet owner to learn what the rulesare in the businesses they want to fre-quent with their pets.

The most important point, beyondwhat's written in leash laws or by busi-nesses, is that pet owners be good cit-izens, and make sure their dog is safeand under their control when out andabout. ST

Q: I have a clock that is designed tolook like a fireplace. When it's plugged in,an element looks like a real burning fire.This is an old clock, and I wonder whereI can sell it.

—Bernie, Albuquerque, NMA: Although I am not certain what com-

pany made your clock, I found two listedon eBay, one for $35, one for $45. Onesthat I have spotted in shops generally arepriced for less than $50. This is for clocksin fairly good shape and in working con-dition. To find a buyer for your clock, Isuggest you show it to antiques and clockdealers in your area.

***Q: I have a collection of 54 Lenox

carousel horses, and an additional 16 byThomas Kinkade. Where can I sell them?

—Tom, Tiro, OHA: I suggest you post them on eBay. This

will showcase them to buyers throughoutthe country. Incidentally, Walter Scott Lenoxand Jonathan Coxon founded a ceramiccompany in Trenton, N.J., in 1889. WhenCoxon left The Ceramic Art Company in1906, the name was changed to Lenox. In1917, its line was chosen to be the officialchina of the White House. Its superior din-nerware made the name Lenox famousthroughout the country.

Q: I have a Denver ceramic bowl thatwas made in about 1915. What can youtell me about this company?

—Jacob, Omaha, NEA: Frederick J. White and his son, Fran-

cis, started a small pottery company inDenver in about 1893. They used local clayto produce earthenware, and within a fewshort years had expanded their operations toinclude more artistic pieces, some markedDenver Art Pottery, while others were sim-ply Denver. Production of this company isextremely collectible. For example, a bowlwith a tree design recently sold at auctionfor $650.

***Q: I have a Vargas calendar from 1949

that is complete and in fairly good condition.I have been offered $150 for it, but wantedto check with you first.

—Steve, Grand Junction, COA: Take the money and run. According

to the sources I checked, your 1949 Var-gas calendar is worth about $75. ST

The Peabody Auditorium, CentralFlorida’s oldest original perform-ing arts center, is celebrating its65th anniversary during the 2013-

2014 season.The Daytona Beach Symphony Soci-

ety has presented its season at the Peabodyfor six decades entertaining lovers of clas-sical music, opera, and dance. This season’sperformances include the Haifa SymphonyOrchestra of Israel, Don Quixote Ballet,and Moiseyev Siberian Dancers.

Peabody Auditorium’s story began in1907 when Simon J. Peabody, a lumber-man from Indiana who wintered in Day-tona Beach, became interested in thelocal arts community which held a weeklyforum with drama, musical acts, speakers,and dancers at the Casino Burgoyne onBeach Street.

In 1919, Mr. Peabody purchased landon Auditorium Boulevard and NorthWild Olive Avenue on which to constructan auditorium. Together with eight associ-ates they raised $25,000 to cover the costof construction. The auditoriumopened in 1920. Thefirst Auditoriumwas destroyed

by fire in 1946, but the citizens rallied torebuild. On Oct. 6, 1949, the new PeabodyAuditorium opened on the same site. It wasbuilt entirely of fireproof tile blocks.

The City of Daytona Beach acceptedownership of the Peabody Auditorium in1947. Included in a record of that event isthis remark: “It must be borne in mindthat the Peabody site was given to the Cityby Simon Peabody on condition that it beused for the construction of a ‘place ofassemblage,’ otherwise the land is torevert to the heirs of Simon Peabody.”

“It takes a lot of heart to make it work,”commented Helen Riger, Peabody Execu-tive Director. “I have a staff of 7 who workdiligently to make Peabody the premierperforming arts center in Central Florida.”

Look for several anniversary celebra-tions that will be held during the season! ST

Tickets for the 2013-2014 season showsare available at the Peabody Box Office,Ticketmaster outlets, Wal-Mart Supercenters,charge by phone at 1-800-982-ARTS (2787)and online at www.ticketmaster.com Formore details, call 386-671-8252.

Candy, candy, and more candy. Hal-loween is just around the corner, andsome of us like to offer a non-candyalternative to our door-knocking ghoulsand goblins. Here are three that I havebeen successful with: pencils, erasers,and glow sticks/bracelets.

—JoAnn

After Halloween isover is a great time topick up imagination-stimulating accessoriesand some outfits forthe dress-up bin.

Young childrenoften love the act ofpumpkin carving, butapart from letting them scoop out theseeds (which is fun!), there's not a safeway to let them help with the cutting. Irecommend purchasing a small pump-kin for the little ones to decorate withmarkers or paint.”

—W.F. in South Carolina

Baby lotion is great to have aroundon Halloween, because it can be used to

remove face paint. Masks can restrictchildren's vision when trick-or-treating,so face paint is a better way to go. Usea washcloth and baby lotion to get thatpaint off quick.”

—A.V. in Oregon

Choose a battery-powered candlefor your carved Jack-o-lanterns. You can

leave it on longer, evenwhen you aren't home.It's much safer than atrue flame.

Give any costumethat your kid wants towear for Halloweenthe dance test. Have

them put on the costume and dancearound. If the child is tripping over thehems or the accessories are cumber-some, a change is in order.” ST

On Oct. 31, 1517, the priest and scholarMartin Luther nails to the door of the Cas-tle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, a pieceof paper containing 95 revolutionary opin-ions that would begin the Protestant Refor-mation. In one, Luther condemned the cor-ruption of the Catholic Church for askingfor payment for the forgiveness of sins.

On Oct. 30, 1890, Oakland, California,enacts a law against opium, morphine, andcocaine. The new regulations allowed onlydoctors to prescribe these drugs, which hadbeen legal for cures or pain relief.

On Oct. 29, 1929, Black Tuesday hitsWall Street as investors trade 16,410,030shares. In the aftermath of Black Tuesday,America and the rest of the industrializedworld spiraled downward into the GreatDepression. By 1932, stocks were worthonly about 20 percent of their value in thesummer of 1929.

On Nov. 2, 1947, the Hughes Flying Boat—the largest aircraft ever built—is pilotedby designer Howard Hughes on its first andonly flight. Built with laminated birch and

spruce, the Spruce Goose had a wingspanlonger than a football field and was designedto carry more than 700 men to battle.

On Nov. 1, 1952, the United States det-onates the world's first thermonuclearweapon, the hydrogen bomb, on Eniwetokatoll in the Pacific. The Soviet Union fol-lowed suit, and by the late 1970s, sevennations had constructed hydrogen bombs.

On Oct. 28, 1965, construction is com-pleted on the Gateway Arch, a 630-foot-high parabola of stainless steel in St. Louis.An internal tram system takes visitors tothe top, where on a clear day they can seeup to 30 miles across the Mississippi andto the Great Plains to the west.

On Nov. 3, 1986, the Lebanese magazineAsh Shiraa reports that the United Stateshas been secretly selling arms to Iran in aneffort to secure the release of seven Amer-ican hostages held by pro-Iranian groupsin Lebanon.

Nearly every senior I knowhas less free time in retire-ment than they thought theywould. A big reason is that

others assumed the new retiree wouldhave loads of free time and would there-fore be willing and able to... (fill in theblank). In other words, the so-calledfree time quickly vanished under therequests of others.

A recent study compared quality oflife with the amount of free time avail-able to a retiree. It was originally as-sumed that more free time meant a bet-ter quality of life. Not so, researcherssaid. Instead, the management of thetime we do have leads to a better qual-ity of life. The researchers went so faras to suggest that seniors be taught time-management techniques.

I don't know if that's really neces-sary, do you? We spent the first part ofour lives managing our time, either forwork or family obligations, or both.What we need to learn is the word no.

“Oh, you're retiring? Would youplease watch the kids during the day

to save me the babysitting costs?”Answer: No.

“Can we count on you to join theboard at the senior center?” The answershould be: No.

No, no, no... at least until you get ahandle on your free time once you'veretired. Give it at least a couple ofmonths. During that time, explore someof your options: a hobby you neverhad time for, uninterrupted hours inthe library, sewing the new drapes thathave sat untouched for years... you getthe idea.

Then, once you learn what free timeyou really have, maybe you can sayyes now and then. ST

From the time my son could talk,he had something to say. Everynight after we put him to bed he'dcall down the stairs, “Mommy, can

you come up?” Every night I would answerthe call and go back upstairs to hear whatwas on his mind. Sometimes he had some-thing serious to discuss, and other times,not so much.

We discussed everything from his belief,at 5 years old, that he'd have to move toFlorida when he grew up, to satisfying hiscuriosity about what was here beforedinosaurs. When he was in elementaryschool, he'd tell me about things his friendswere going through and ask me what adviceI'd give them. At about 8 years of age hewanted to know if he'd have to move awayfrom home to go to college. When I toldhim he didn't have to but I was pretty surehe'd want to, he assured me that he wasn'tgoing to leave home—ever!

At one point he changed from, “Mommy,can you come up?” to “Daddy, can you sendMommy up?” I'm not sure why this hap-pened, but the result was still the same; Iwent up. One night my husband turned tome and said: “You know why he doesn't askme to come up? He knows I won't go.” Myresponse was simple: “When Aaron be-comes a teenager, he's going to have seri-ous things to discuss. I want him to know

he can always talk to me. No matter whattime of day or what the subject may be, Iwant Aaron to know that he can trust me totake it seriously and take the time to talkto him. It's going to matter.”

I’'ll admit there were nights when I reallydidn't want to go back up and talk aboutanything. On one of those nights I askedAaron why we couldn't talk about thesethings earlier in the day. His answer? “Be-cause I don't think about them then.”Enough said! It was at night, when the daywas done and he was relaxing, that the mys-teries of life invaded his thoughts.

Aaron is now a teenager, and there aremany more things to think and talk about.Teenagers these days deal with a lot ofissues. From drugs to grades, from teenpregnancies to friends' parents divorcing—the list of possible real-life topics is end-less. Then there are the not-so-serious issuesteens deal with, like acne. On any givenday my son is dealing with these issues. Onany given day he knows he can talk withme about any of these issues. He knowsI'll take them seriously and take the time tolisten, because when he was little I alwaysanswered the call. As I knew then, it reallymatters now. ST

There is an art to producing real-istic counterfeit personal checks,but advances in technology read-ily available to the average person

makes creating fake checks and alteringlegitimate ones a feasible business ventureto even the less sophisticated criminals. Theactivity has even evolved into counterfeitcommercial checks, cashier’s checks, andpostal money orders. Various forms of scamsand frauds involving fake or altered checksremain a problem for businesses and indi-vidual people. If you’re not careful, youcould even find yourself an unwitting mid-dleman in a criminal’s carefully crafted mon-eymaking scheme.

A Central Florida woman was caught upin one such scheme involving a group ofmen who had set up a phony mortgage com-pany and convinced her to do some check-cashing legwork for them. A man told herthat he had applied for a loan at a mortgagecompany, but his request was later denied.He said he had paid a few thousand dollarsto the company as an ap-plication fee of some sort,and since the loan not ap-proved, the company hadissued him a refund check.The poor man’s problemwas that he couldn’t cashthe check because heowed child support andthe money would beimmediately taken out of the refund check.The woman bought the concocted storyand agreed to help him. Another manplaying the role of a mortgage company’semployee issued a check, later determinedto be fake, in the woman’s name.

When the woman tried to cash the check,the bank called the mortgage company toverify that the check was all right. The scam-mers had set up a temporary phone line onbehalf of their fake company and had anaccomplice standing by to claim that thecheck was legitimate. Next, the bank veri-fied that the bank account the check wasdrawn from was legitimate and had enoughfunds available to cover the amount. Thescammers took care of this by using the rout-ing and account numbers of a law firm thathad no idea what was happening.

The check was cashed and the criminalsgrabbed the money and left town to set theoperation up in a new place. The womanwas left with the bank charges levied when

it was determined the check was fake.That was an elaborate set up, but there

are many other simpler ways criminals canmake use of counterfeit or otherwise ille-gitimate checks. It usually starts with thetheft of your personal checks. Thieves canthen copy and alter the check or just usethe account information on it for other pur-poses. Here are some steps you can take toprevent check fraud:

• Guard your checks just as you wouldcash and credit cards. Keep them as safefrom theft as possible.

• Always review yourbank statements as soonas you receive them andreport any unauthorizedactivity on your account.

• Be sure you don’t usechecks or deposit slips asscratch paper.

• Tear up old checks andbank statements before

you throw them away.• Fill in the payee line and the amount

line completely on your checks.If you accept a check for a purchase,

there are a few things you can look for thatmight tip you off to a counterfeit check:

• Be wary of offers from outside thecountry. Some variations of the notoriousNigerian Scams involve fraudulent checks,but it’s not the only foreign country scam.

• Take a look at the check’s print quality.Look for clear, crisp printing and makesure that text and numbers are straight.

• Look for built-in security features suchas watermarks or other codes. These areespecially important for money orders andtravelers checks. You can even call the issu-ing institution, such as American Expressor the post office, and confirm their secu-rity codes on the check. ST
