THE BEST IN SIGHT

“I SEE SPOTS”By Steven Mintz, O.D.

Every day we see people in our of-fice with the above complaint. But restassured, it is very common for people ofany age (but especially over age 50) tosee ‘spots’ or ‘floaters’. They are mostoften caused by a change in the consis-tency of the gel inside your eye.

The majority of the fluid inside theeye is a gel called the vitreous humor, orsimply, the vitreous. This vitreous is a gellike tissue the consistency of warmedVaseline. It has some solid-ness to it butis able to partially flow or move around.The human eye, when it is developing inthe womb, contains a pair of blood ves-sels that travel from the back part of theeye to the front, somewhat like the coreof an apple. Shortly before a person isborn, those blood vessels become re-dundant and the body re-absorbs or di-

gests these blood vessels. The re-ab-sorption, though, is not complete andmany hundreds of tiny pieces of theblood vessel tissue remain inside theeye. Almost all of these, however, aretransparent and hence, invisible.

As one gets older, some of thesepieces lose their transparency and be-come visible. Floaters take on manyforms, from small dots or threads to thevery life like appearance of spiders, fliesor tadpoles. The floaters may be so dis-tinct that you can draw their shape ex-actly. They tend to move with your eyemovements and tend to jump back andforth across your line of sight.

There is no treatment possible orneeded for them. Usually floaters do notsignify eye disease. Because you areactually seeing the shadows of these

floaters, they are most evident in brightlight or when looking at bright back-grounds. To minimize their effect on yourvision reduce the lighting or put on sun-glasses. They will become less noticedover time as your brain will suppress theappearance of the floaters eventually.

There are uncommon circum-stances when floaters do represent a se-rious symptom. A hemorrhage in the eyemay produce the sudden appearance offloaters. As well, a retinal detachmentcan cause new floaters to appear. Inthese cases, the floaters may be partic-ularly large and very numerous. As wella retinal detachment is often precededby a bright white lightning-like flash oflight. So if you suddenly see new largefloaters or many (more than is possibleto count) appearing at one time, with orwithout a flash of light, consider this to bean emergency. Go and see your op-tometrist, your physician or the emer-gency department immediately.

Picture yourself sitting in a massagechair with your feet in a whirlpool-likebasin, while you read your favouritemagazine. Yes, that’s all it takes to get aprofessional pedicure!

And, if this is not enough to cajoleyou into getting one, then we have a listthat gives you 5 physicals benefits of apedicure for men.

1) Improves Foot HealthDirty feet are a breeding ground for

all sorts of bacteria. The benefit of get-ting a pedicure is one way to get rid of allthe dirt stuck under toenails. During theprocess, your feet will also be exfoliatedto remove dead skin that has the poten-tial to cause problems. Special pedicuressalts are added to the foot soak, so thatyou can also get additional anti-bacterialprotection.

2) Help Releases StressIf your profession requires you to be

on your feet, most of the day, then apedicure can be exactly what you need.All men would agree that stress is thebiggest enemy; it’s not a bad idea to takean hour out of your daily routine for apedicure. After all, sitting and relaxingwhile a professional is working on yourfeet can be bliss. Our pedicure chairs aremassaging so sit back, relax and includethe massage, another reason to go forpedicure.

3) Removes Foot OdourNo one likes a stinky foot! Pedicures

are the best way to remove dead skin,dirt and bacteria from the feet com-pletely. This makes more sense in therainy season when feet need extra careand protection. Your feet also need exfo-liation to remove the bacterial infection,which you can’t get rid off in normalwashes and can only be achieved vis-a-vis pedicure.

4) Prevents Ingrown ToenailsMen, often, don’t pay much attention

when you cut your toenails. This canlead to cutting nails too short or leavingminiscule pieces at the edges - both ofwhich lead to ingrown toenails. A profes-sional pedicure will ensure that your nailsare taken care of and are also cut to thecorrect length. When a calf or foot mas-sage is assisted with a pedicure, it alsobenefits in improving blood flow in the re-gion while reducing the pain, if any!

5) Makes You Look GoodLet’s face it; women are attracted to

men who take pride in how they look. Noneed to go over-the-top, but trimmed,clean and buffed nails is way to go and

REPORT FROM PARLIAMENT

SUPPORTING CANADIAN FAMILIESBy Lawrence Toet, M.P., Elmwood-Transcona

Supporting hard-working Canadianfamilies is where my journey as a Mem-ber of Parliament began and I remaincommitted to supporting measures thatmake life more affordable for every fam-ily with children in our community. Cen-tral to my values is a belief in theimportance of community and the im-portance of family. One of the uniquecharacteristics of this country rests inthe Canadian family unit. Parents work-ing hard each and every day to pay fordaycare, put their oldest through a yearof university, pay for extracurricular ac-tivities like soccer and dance, and even-tually pay off the mortgage on their firsthome, make up a snapshot of what itmeans to raise a family in our commu-nity. I know firsthand that raising a fam-ily is hard work, and I believe that anyinvestment in our community’s futuremeans investing in ways to help ourfamilies.

Since 2006, our Government hasprovided significant tax relief for families,seniors, and all Canadians. In fact,we’ve cut the overall tax burden to thelowest level in a generation. That record

now includes our Family Tax Cuts andBenefits Plan, delivering additional sup-port for every single family with children.We have increased and expanded theUniversal Child Care Benefit (UCCB)and since 2006, the UCCB has deliveredchoice for parents when it comes to childcare. We increased the benefit to $1,920per year, per child under the age of six.And we’re delivering a new benefit of$720 per year for each child aged 6through 17. For those who receive theirpayments by direct deposit or by mail,please check to see that you receivedyour payment on July 20th. I wouldstrongly encourage you to contact my of-fice if you are eligible for these benefitsand did not get your July payment.

The financial security and well-beingof seniors is also very important to ourGovernment and I am proud to have re-cently announced federal support for afew local organizations that offer pro-gramming and activities to keep seniorsactive and engaged in our community.The Transcona Council for Seniors re-ceived over $21,000 in funding throughthe New Horizons for Seniors Program

to purchase tablets, a projector, soft-ware, and an amplification system to pro-vide a new computer class for seniors tosupport their social participation and in-clusion. Transcona Memorial UnitedChurch, in partnership with theTranscona Food Bank and TransconaCouncil for Seniors, received $50,000 infunding through the Enabling Accessibil-ity Fund to complete the installation of anaccessible elevator, waiting area, andwashroom to ensure that seniors andpeople with disabilities have access totheir valuable programming.

Families and seniors make remark-able contributions to our community and Iam always thrilled to connect them withservices and benefits that help them tolead happier and healthier lives while mak-ing ends meet.

You May Have a Tax Time Bomb Ticking and Not Even Know It

PROTECT YOUR ESTATE FROM TAXES AND FEESBy Darryl Horeczy

Are you aware of the fact that taxesand probate fees* could reduce the valueof your estate by up to half? While Canadadoes not impose death or inheritancetaxes, generally your capital assets are

considered to have been sold upon yourdeath unless you leave these assets to asurviving spouse on a “rollover basis”.

The income tax implications of thisdeemed disposition can be severe, and

depending on your beneficiary designa-tions and the province in which you re-side, probate fees may be assessed onyour estate to further erode your legacy.

Life insurance, often viewed solelyto provide for dependants in the event ofan untimely death, can provide an effec-tive way of preserving your wealth for thebenefit of your heirs.

Just what is taxable upon death?Virtually any asset upon which taxes

have been deferred will be subject to taxupon your death. This includes the fullvalue of your Registered RetirementSavings Plan (RRSP) or Registered Re-tirement Income Fund (RRIF), as well ashalf of the gain on any non-registered as-sets, including recreational property.

The tax implications on thesedeemed dispositions can be significant.For example, if the cottage you pur-chased 30 years ago for $50,000 has ap-preciated in value to $250,000, uponyour death, your estate could face a taxbill of approximately $45,000 on the cot-tage alone. An RRSP or RRIF containing$300,000 of assets would also be takenentirely into income. The result? It toocould be cut almost in half once it’staxed.

In jurisdictions with relatively highprobate fees, such as Ontario, NovaScotia and British Columbia, these feescan further reduce your estate by thou-sands of dollars.

Delaying the inevitableCanadians can bequeath capital

property directly to their spouse or com-mon-law partner – with no immediate taxconsequences. The proceeds of regis-tered plans can also be ‘rolled over’ to asurviving spouse or common-law partnerand remain sheltered from tax. As a re-sult, many tax liabilities can be deferreduntil the death of the surviving spouse orcommon-law partner. Unless the surviv-ing spouse or common-law partner en-

ters into a new relationship, the tax de-ferral ordinarily comes to an end uponhis or her death. In these circumstances,estate assets may have to be sold inorder to pay long-deferred taxes.

While selling assets to pay taxes isan option, it may not always be an idealsolution. Unfavourable market conditionscould force the sale of assets at de-pressed prices, limiting the proceedsavailable to your estate. Transactioncosts incurred upon these sales couldfurther reduce these proceeds.

Finally, some assets cannot easilybe sold. For example, it is not feasible tosell off only a portion of your cottage tocover taxes. This could put someone inthe unenviable position of having to raiselarge amounts of cash if they hope to re-tain the property they inherit.

Another optionRather than selling assets or bor-

rowing cash to pay fees and taxes, con-sider purchasing a joint second-to-die lifeinsurance policy to preserve your estate.These policies insure the lives of both

spouses, with proceeds payable uponthe death of the surviving spouse. Theproceeds can then be applied to coveryour estate’s tax liabilities and otherdebts, thereby leaving your legacy intactfor distribution to your heirs.

For a more thorough understandingof what lies ahead for your estate, talkwith us today.

*Probate fees are often not applicablein Quebec. And when they are, the fee isn’tbased on the value of the Estate. v
