Dear Readers,

February is my favorite time of the

year! Annual festivals, celebrations and fairs will be taking place all over the state. Check your local calendar for some in your area. Many of these events are free or have a small entrance fee, and they include entertain-ment, education, fun and food! One of my favorites is the Florida State Fair, which has been held in Tampa since 1904. It has grown over the years, but it still holds that hometown Florida feel with the daily parade that includes high school marching bands, horses, themed floats and clowns. Artisans display their crafts, and Cracker Country’s view back into the pioneer days of Florida is a hands-on education for every age.

I love to take the grandkids to see the 4-H youth (Ag) show of animals, rabbits, chicken, roosters, llamas and more…and don’t forget the moo-turnity ward and the new born piglets. I’ll never forget the sur-prised look on my grandson’s face when he tried to help milk a cow! This year the fair will be held from Feb. 9 – 20. The Lee County Fair takes place from Feb. 24 – March 4 and offers the theme of “Where old friends meet and fun begins!” Of course there are smaller events and local celebrations of all kinds thoughout the state. Folks come from

all over to enjoy the annual Straw-berry Festival in Plant City, featuring country music stars and, of course, homemade strawberry shortcake. This year the festival will be held from March 1 – 11. Check out our feature story about Brenda Lee, who will perform at the festival on Mar. 6. While our northern friends fight snow and ice, we have the opportu-nity to get out there and meet new people and enjoy events happening all over the state of Florida. I’ll see you at the Fair! – Kathy J Beck, Publisher

Tennessee, has been a part of News Connection, USA, Inc. since 2005. The following is an announcement of recent developments. News Connection, USA, LLC is based in Nashville with operations in Tennessee and Florida. The company will continue providing magazine-type publications and other services to the 50+ community and recently announced that it has acquired the business operations and assets of four related Florida businesses, each of which provides similar services. The companies acquired are SR Media, Inc., D&D Events, Inc., Web Concepts, Inc., and 50+ Concepts, Inc. News Connection publishes and dis-tributes its papers across seven counties in Middle Tennessee under the brand name Mature Lifestyles. In Florida, fi ve editions are published in eleven counties along the west coast. The Florida papers are published under two brand names, Mature Lifestyles and Senior Connection,

have a 20+ year history and have won numerous awards over the years for content, design and editorial features. In addition to the publications, News Con-nection conducts events and expos which showcase vendor products and services of interest to the 50+ community. James K. Patterson, President of News Connection, said: “The addition of these Florida businesses provides us with a tremendous opportunity to expand not only our geographic footprint but also our product and service offerings to the 50+ community. The addition of D&D Events will allow us to exponentially grow the expo segment of the business and the addition of Web Concepts and 50+ Concepts provides a quantum leap into the modern day utility of the internet and social media. Through these proprietary, web-based programs we will now be able to offer our advertising clients a lead-based utility to identify and deliver customers to their doorstep no matter where these customers may reside, domestically or abroad.”

David Tarantul, a principal in the acquired business said: “We are very pleased with this acquisition. News Connection is a much larger company with more resources and access to new markets that will enable us to expand the combined business more rapidly.” Tarantul has been employed by News Connection as General Manager of the combined Florida operations. Patterson added: “In most business acquisitions, the most important asset you get is people. We feel like we have struck gold in getting Dave Tarantul and his team to join ours. Kathy Beck, one of the founders of our Florida business, will continue in her role as Publisher but will assume the added duties of Director of Marketing and Events. We now have two veterans and real pros to lead the growth and development of our multiple business segments, freshen our image and consolidate our multiple brands under a new, uniform brand and logo.

America’s Little Miss Dynamite Will BY JANICE DOYLE AND TRACIE SCHMIDT

The Beatles’ own John Lennon once described Brenda

Lee as “the greatest Rock and Roll voice of all.” How did he know? Simple. The Beatles toured with Brenda Lee in Europe as her opening band on a UK tour in the early 1960s. She was already a star, but they were a then-little-known beat group from Liverpool. Born in 1944, Brenda Lee’s career started with her big voice and a catchy song—”Jambalaya”—in 1955. At 4 feet 9 inches tall, she received the nickname Little Miss Dynamite in 1957 after recording the song “Dynamite,” and in 1960 she recorded her signature song ‘“I’m Sorry,” which hit No. 1 on the Billboard pop chart. It was her fi rst gold single—28 more would follow as well as fi ve gold and platinum albums. The little girl from rural Georgia was one of the earliest pop stars to have a major contemporary international following.

Though “I’m Sorry” was not released as a country song, it was among the fi rst big hits to use what was to become the Nashville sound—singing

with a string orchestra and smooth harmonized background vocals.

Strawberry Festival Appearance We talked with Brenda Lee by phone about her show at the Strawberry Festival in Plant City on Tuesday, March 6. She said, “You’ll hear just about all of the oldies. Let’s see; ‘I’m Sorry,’ ‘Jambalaya,’

‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,’ ‘Break It to Me Gently,’ ‘As Usual,’ ‘Sweet Nothing’ and some others.” Now 67, Brenda Lee placed 37 songs on the American singles charts during the 1960s. In the 1970s, she re-invented herself with country music, saying, “It’s the honesty that appeals to me, people relate to the feelings expressed in country songs.” Later still, Brenda Lee would fi nd that rock music and its “plain all-out, unadulterated energy” carried her

along. She found herself with new entertainers who shared

“the sheer love of music that we were all invent-

ing at the same time, not knowing what

the heck we were inventing,” she

told one writer.

Married to the same man, Ronnie Shacklett, since 1963, Brenda Lee continues to wow audiences, has appeared on every major TV show ever produced and has traveled the world with her music. We asked the star what has grounded her to stay vital in the music world and not lose her personal focus on family and values. She said, “I had a good mother who taught me a lot about perseverance and discipline, and those are some really great traits to have. I took those to heart, really tried to adhere to them. When you grow up really poor like I did, it will make you one of two ways – either really bitter or really happy to be alive and grateful, and I was one of the latter.” Brenda Lee has always understood audiences, and she knows older audiences appreciate her music for the memories the songs carry for them. But, she added, “An audience is the same the world over. Give them a good show, be glad they’re there and appreciative of them, and they’ll respond back to you.” The Strawberry Festival audience will most likely respond because they’ll know both her and her songs. She said, “I’m still short, I’ve still got big hair, I still look pretty much the same. I’m older though.”

Young people have often discov-ered Brenda Lee from listening with parents or grandparents. A new gen-eration fi rst heard her sing “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” in the 1990 movie Home Alone. That original 1958 Christmas song is now the No. 4 all-time Christmas radio hit, and Brenda herself sings it every year wherever her annual live Christmas tours take her. Brenda said we’d hear ‘Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree’ at the Strawberry Festival. We can also tell you that when she talked about her grandchildren, she said, “My youngest grandson sometimes comes on the road with me and sings ‘Rockin’ Around the Christ-mas Tree.’ He’ll be in Plant City, so you never know what you’ll see!” We’ll be welcoming Brenda Lee and she’s looking forward to coming to Plant City and said, “I look forward to being there and putting on a great performance, and seeing and saying hello to folks.”Brenda Lee truly is one of America’s living legends. Go to the Strawberry Festival and let her touch your memory bank and your emotions with her warm personality and high-spirited voice. You won’t regret it.

Café Groups Ask “What Do You Think?”BY JANICE DOYLE

Pick a topic, any topic, and there’s a good chance it has

been discussed at one or more Café Philo discussion groups in Charlotte County. Philosophical discussion groups have been picking topics to talk about every week for 12 years. Howard Guralnick attends four different meetings each week and says, “I find that each group has its own unique personality, although we all follow the same set of guidelines.” Café Philo groups meet in a variety of places and on different days of the week and times of day. There’s also a Café Theo group for religious discussion and a Café Socrates group which follows the Socratic Method for their discussions. All groups are free and open to the public. Judy Malbuisson, Executive Director of the Arts & Humanities Council of Charlotte County oversees the program. She says group leaders come from within the group and one person who

acts as facilitator. Some groups rotate that position. The groups choose their own topics, some searching far and wide over the internet for new ideas. Some cafes announce their top-ics ahead of time so members can research and prepare ahead, others don’t. Malbuisson says, “We tell people that they have choices. Try one group, and if you don’t feel comfortable try another one.” Today’s seven Café groups began in a Punta Gorda book store. They have lasted through Hurricane Charlie and through the annual com-ing and going of large numbers of participating snowbirds. Some groups are more social than others. Long-time friendships evolve. One of the four groups Guralnick

attends goes to lunch together after the meeting on Fridays to “discuss mundane or esoteric things that friends do when they are out eating together.” They have such a strong group that on days the Punta Gorda Library

is closed, he says, “We have even met at a local park by the water.” Group leaders make sure everyone gets a chance to talk, according to Malbuisson, although some people choose to just listen. “A good leader makes sure the discussion stays on topic and invites anyone who may not be speaking up to do so,” she adds. Each group’s topic is on the weekly Arts & Humanities Council website. Past topics have included political, personality and historical issues.”

Guralnick adds that you “don’t need a Ph.D in Philosophy to participate. It is a discussion not a debate. We have the freedom to express our own thoughts on diverse topics in an open forum without recrimination from others.”

Tips For Staying Active As You AgeBY JOHN C. KAGAN, M.D.

While there may be no single fountain of youth, you can slow

down the aging process by staying physically active. Regular exercise enhances muscle and joint function, keeps bones strong and decreases your risk of heart attack and stroke. Here are some tips developed by the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons that can help you exercise safely.

Warm Up Always take time to warm up and stretch before physical activity. Research studies have shown that cold muscles are more prone to injury. Warm up with jumping jacks, stationary cycling or running or walking in place for 3 to 5 minutes. Then slowly and gently stretch, holding each stretch for 30 seconds. Do not stretch cold muscles.

Cool Down Just like warming up, it is important

to cool down. Gentle stretching after physical activity is very important to prepare your body for the next time you exercise. It will make recovery from exercise easier.

Consistent Exercise Program Avoid the “weekend warrior” syndrome. Compressing your exercise into two days sets you up for trouble and does not in-crease your fitness level. Try to get at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day. If you are truly pressed for time, you can break it up into 10-minute chunks.

Be Prepared Take sports lessons. Whether you are a beginner or have been playing a sport for a long time, lessons are a worthwhile investment. Proper form and instruction reduce the chance of developing an “overuse” injury like tendonitis or a stress fracture. Invest in good equipment. Select the proper shoes for your sport and use them only for that sport. When the treads start to look worn or the shoes are no longer as supportive, it is time to replace them.

Listen to Your Body As you age, you may find that you are not as flexible as you once were or that you cannot tolerate the same types of activities that you did years ago. While no one is happy about getting older, you will be able to prevent injury by modifying your activity to accommodate your body’s needs.

Use the Ten Percent Rule When changing your activity level, increase it in increments of no more than 10 percent per week. If you normally walk two miles a day and want to increase your fitness level, do not try to suddenly walk four miles. Slowly build up to more miles each week until you reach your higher goal. When strength training, use the 10 percent rule as your guide and increase your weights gradually.

Balanced Fitness Develop a balanced fitness program that incorporates cardiovascular exercise, strength training, and flex-ibility. In addition to providing a total

body workout, a balanced program will keep you from getting bored and lessen your chances of injury. Add activities and new exercises cautiously. Whether you have been sed-entary or are in good physical shape, do not try to take on too many activities at one time. It is best to add no more than one or two new activities per workout. If you have or have had a sports or orthopedic injury like tendonitis, arthritis, a stress fracture, or low back pain, consult an orthopedic surgeon who can help design a fitness routine to promote wellness and minimize the chance of injury.

Do you have questions about joint pain?

‘Tis the Month for Thoughts of Love

February and time to think about love—maybe serious, maybe

funny. Enjoy! I don’t understand why Cupid was cho-sen to represent Valentine’s Day. When I think about romance, the last thing on my mind is a short, chubby toddler coming at me with a weapon. ~Author Unknown Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end. ~Author Unknown If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular? ~Author Unknown Love - a wildly misunderstood although highly desirable malfunction of the heart which weakens the brain, causes eyes to sparkle, cheeks to glow, blood pressure to rise and the lips to pucker. ~Author Unknown Without love, what are we worth? Eighty-nine cents! Eighty-nine cents worth of chemicals walking around lonely. ~M*A*S*H, Hawkeye

I claim there ain’tAnother SaintAs great as Valentine.~Ogden Nash Trip over love, you can get up. Fall in love and you fall forever. ~Author Unknown We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weird-ness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weird-ness—and call it love—true love. ~Robert Fulghum, True Love We loved with a love that was more than love. ~Edgar Allan Poe Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat. ~Ben Hecht Love is much nicer to be in than an automobile accident, a tight girdle, a higher tax bracket or a holding pattern over Philadelphia. ~Judith Viorst, Redbook, 1975

Top 10 Movies Guaranteed to Inspire You to Better Heart HealthThere comes a point in everybody’s

life where a gentle push is all that’s needed to help get us back on track. Movies are one of the most powerful art forms that frequently inspire us to be better and to do better. If you’re needing a swift kick in the posterior and are looking for that inspiration on the silver screen, look no further than the following cinematic works of art: 1. Rocky Balboa. At a spry 60, Sylvester Stallone was no spring chicken when he decided to revive the main character of his Rocky movies for one last go. This inspiring tour de force that shows us that heart and determination can overcome the limitations of age. 2. Pumping Iron. Bodybuilding was a fringe sport when this documentary came out in 1977, but afterwards, the sport exploded in popularity. If you’re looking motivation to pick up those dumbbells and pack on a few pounds of muscle, this is the movie to watch.

3. Harold and Maude. This classic, often overlooked gem is evidence that you don’t have to work your muscles to the bone to lead a rich, fulfilling life as a senior. Ruth Gordon’s performance as the octogenarian Maude shows that finding adventure at a ripe old age is simply a matter of having the nerve to look for it. 4. Space Cowboys. There’s nothing quite like a troupe of “old timers” showing the younger generation how it’s done to emphasize the virtues of experience over physical ability. Star-ring the fit-as-a-fiddle Clint Eastwood,

Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, and James Garner. 5. The Natural. Robert Redford’s touching and inspiring perfor-mance as an aging baseball player shows that sometimes, physical ability can outlast the expectations of even the most optimistic. 6. The Rookie. With a tag line like “It’s never too late to believe in your dreams,” you know going into this movie that you’re in for something special. Dennis Quaid plays an aging baseball coach who decides to give his dream of being a pro baseball player a shot. 7. Never Say Never Again. At 53, Sean Connery returned to the role he made famous as James Bond, showing that age is no encumbrance to attractiveness, mobility and general on-screen heroics. He’s also an inspiration to those who feel that their best years may be behind them.

8. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. If there’s any sixty-something actor in Hollywood that can make growing old look good, it’s Har-rison Ford. His superior physical shape in the last of the Indiana Jones movies may not inspire you to take on the world with a bullwhip in hand, but it’ll certainly show you that being over 60 doesn’t have to be an invitation to the old folks’ home. 9. Red. Helen Mirren delivers a rocking, rolling performance as a gun-toting, sexy sixty-something that proves just because a woman is verging on her seventh decade doesn’t mean she can’t take care of herself and look fabulous in the process. Ladies, take note. 10. Machete. This movie may not be ev-eryone’s cup of tea, but there’s no deny-ing that seeing 66-year-old Danny Trejo lay waste to his mortal enemies with a physique that would shame most twenty-somethings could inspire anyone to better physical health, regardless of age.

The Healthy GeezerBY FRED CICETTI

Q. I’m a geezer planning to have surgery in a few months.

I was wondering if I can I donate blood to myself in advance?

A: Yes you can. This is called “autologous” blood donation. It’s done in the weeks before non-emergency surgery. The blood is stored until the operation. Autologous donation is most often employed in surgery on bones, blood vessels, the urinary tract and the heart, when the likeli-hood of transfusion is high. This form of blood donation is good for the patient, but it’s beneficial to society, too. People over the age of 69 require half of all whole blood and red blood cells transfused, according to the National Blood Data Resource Center (NBDRC). Giving blood to yourself cuts down on the demand for blood. Typically, each donated unit of blood, referred to as whole blood, is separated into multiple components, such as red blood cells, plasma, platelets and antihemophilic factor, for transfusion to individuals with different needs. With an aging population and advances in medical treatments requiring blood transfusions, the demand for blood is increasing. On any given day, an average of 38,000 units of red blood cells are needed. Volunteers donate almost all the blood transfused in the United States. Using current screening and donation procedures, a growing number of blood banks have found blood donation by seniors to be safe and practical; if you’re a geezer, you probably can help the cause. To be eligible to donate blood, a person must be in good health. In general, donors must weigh at least 110 pounds. Most blood banks have no upper age limit. Donors are screened for AIDS, hepatitis, other diseases and other possible problems. Adult males have about 12 pints of blood in their circulation and adult females have about nine pints.

The donor’s body replenishes the fluid lost from donation in about 24 hours. The red blood cells that are lost are generally replaced in a few weeks. Whole blood can be donated once every eight weeks. What is the most common blood type? The approximate distribution of blood types in the U.S. population is as follows. Distribution may be different for specific racial and ethnic groups:

O Rh-positive – 38 percentO Rh-negative – 7 percentA Rh-positive – 34 percentA Rh-negative – 6 percentB Rh-positive – 9 percentB Rh-negative – 2 percentAB Rh-positive – 3 percentAB Rh-negative – 1 percent In an emergency, anyone can receive type O red blood cells, and type AB individuals can receive red blood cells of any ABO type. Therefore, people with type O blood are known as “universal donors,” and those with type AB blood are known as “universal recipients.” If you would like to read more columns, you can order a copy of “How to be a Healthy Geezer” at healthygeezer.com.

Age-Related Macular DegenerationAge-related macular

degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in people over the age of 55, affecting more than 10 million Americans. It is a condition in which the central por-tion of the retina (the macula) deteriorates. It is equally common in men and women and more common in whites than blacks. The cause is unknown, but the condition tends to run in some families. There are two forms of macular degeneration: atrophic (dry) and exudative (wet). Approximately 85 – 90 percent of the cases are the dry type. Both forms of the disease may affect both eyes simultaneously. Currently there is no cure, but here are some age-related macular degen-eration treatments that could prevent severe vision loss or slow the progres-sion of the disease considerably. • Anti-angiogenic drugs such as

the recently approved Eylea, Lucentis, Avastin, and Macugen are injected directly into the eye, and are often effective.

• Laser therapy. • Photodynamic laser therapy.• Vitamins such as Lutein.• Low vision aids. • Several genetic tests are currently

available and/or under development. Because some people with the dry form of age-related macular degenera-tion may develop the wet form, those with the dry form should monitor their vision daily and notify their Retina Specialist or Ophthalmologist of any changes in their vision. Recently the FDA approved the new drug Eylea which treats patients with wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). If you have the wet form of macular degeneration, even if it’s been treated, you should have your vision checked

regularly to see if any blind spots grow bigger or if any new blind spots appear. New blood vessels can emerge months or years after you have had successful injections or laser treatment. People rarely lose all of their vision from age-related macular degeneration. They may have poor central vision, but they are still able to perform many normal daily activities. Macular degeneration

cannot be prevented, but it may be con-trolled with the help of your ophthal-mologist. The earlier you have macular degeneration diagnosed, the better the chance that treatment will help. See your eye doctor if you have any symptoms of age-related macular degeneration and make sure you keep regularly scheduled eye exams.• People older than 45 years with

a family history of age-related macular degeneration have a greater chance of developing the disease.

• Use an Amsler grid to help detect subtle changes in your vision. Monitor your vision daily by posting it on your refrigerator.

• Stop smoking, eat a balanced diet that includes leafy green vegetables and protect your eyes from sun exposure with sunglasses that block ultraviolet (UV) sunrays.

• Supplementation with antioxidants plus Lutein may decrease the likeli-hood of developing advanced age-related macular degeneration in some.

Veterans Corner

Veterans who develop

type 2 diabetes mellitus and were exposed to Agent Orange or other herbicides during military service do not have to prove a connection between their disease and military service to be eligible to receive VA disability compensa-tion and health care benefits. Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects the body’s ability to use blood sugar for energy. In type 2 diabetes mellitus, the body does not produce enough insulin or the body’s cells ignore the insulin. Signs and symptoms of diabetes type 2 (untreated) are: blurry vision, excessive thirst, fatigue, hunger, frequent urination and weight loss.Some questions and answers:1. What veterans will be affected when this condition is added as a presumptive condition for those exposed to herbicides/dioxins? Honorably discharged veterans who served in the Republic of Vietnam during the period January 9, 1962 through May 7, 1975 and have “adult onset diabetes mellitus” will be affected. This does not include veterans who served in the Republic of Vietnam before January 9, 1962.

2. What does “presumptivecondition” mean? Normally, the claimant must show proof of relationship between service and the condition being claimed. Under presumption of service connection, VA presumes the service-connected relationship exists based on the other qualifying criteria, such as dates and location of service and that the condition being claimed, in this case, is associated with exposure to Agent Orange.

3. Must I have served “in-country” Vietnam to be eligible? To have presumptive service connec-tion granted for diabetes mellitus-based on Vietnam service, the claimant must have served in-country.

4. What does “in-country” mean? What if I served in support of operations in Vietnam, for example, on board a ship in the Gulf of Tonkin? During the period 1/9/62 through 5/7/75, you must have physically served or visited in the Republic of Vietnam (RVN), including service in the waters offshore if the condi-tions of service involved duty or visitation in Vietnam. This means the ship must have come to port in the RVN and you disembarked.

5. I applied for service-connection for my diabetes and was denied. The condition was, however, rated as non-service connected. Will I need to reapply for service connection? Vietnam veterans who were previous-ly denied service connection for diabe-tes should reapply by contacting his or her local VA office at 1-800-827-1000 or by email through the VA webpage.

6. If I am already service connectedfor diabetes, will I be eligible formedical treatment? Even if you decide not to file a claim based on exposure to herbicide, you can still get a free physical examination at the nearest VA Medial Center. You may also be entitled to free ongoing medical treatment at a VA medical facility. You should contact the nearest VA medical facility or you can obtain information and an application for health benefits at the Veterans Health Administration website at va.gov/vbs/health/index.htm or by calling 1-877-222-8387.

Volunteering is a Gift You Give Yourself!

What are you hoping to be sur-prised with for Valentine’s Day?

There is a gift you can give yourself that leads to enjoyment, satisfaction and fulfillment: Volunteering. Shopping for a volunteer experience, as with any gift, is the key to finding a cause you feel passionate about. Here are some tips:• Research causes that are important to you and choose issues that you feel strongly about. There is no end to the creative avenues for volunteering, just as there is no end to the need for volunteers.• Consider the skills you already have to offer. There is something for everyone; be sure to share a skill list with the orga-nization so they are aware of your talents.• Consider seeking a volunteer opportunity where you can learn something new or find a change from your daily routine. Many agencies seek out people who are willing to learn. Realize beforehand, however, that such work might require a time commitment for training before the actual volunteer assignment begins.

• One size fits does not fit all! Make sure the volunteer hours you want to give are flexible enough to fit into your schedule. Better to start out slowly than to commit yourself to a schedule you can’t or don’t want to fulfill.• Virtual volunteering? Yes, there is such a thing. Email is a fantastic way to keep in touch with shut-ins, help with preparing grants, and help apply for financial assistance. Virtual volun-teering is just becoming popular and the ways it can be used are limitless.• Looking for a new career? Volun-teering offers opportunities to help fill in the gaps between employments, learn new skills to build your resume and create networking opportunities. Happy Valentine’s Day! From: Senior Friendship Centers/ Friendship at Home Program, Brenda Ribble, FAH Coordina-tor. For more info on volunteering, call Brenda Ribble at (239) 275-1881 and Margaret Baugher for the RSVP Volunteer Program at Senior Friendship Centers.

Artificial Sweeteners vs. SugarIs switching from sugar to

artificial sweeteners a good trade? Most people consume artificial sweeteners to help them lose weight, but research raises concerns that artificial sweeteners actually promote weight gain. These sugar substitutes are extremely sweet, according to Harvard Health Letter. They may desensitize people to sweet-ness. As a result, nutritious, filling foods

that aren’t as sweet—such as fruits and vegetables—may lose their appeal. Calories that were subtracted from the diet in the sweetener-for-sugar swap may

sneak back in, in the form of refined carbohydrates and unhealthy fats. New studies are also looking at whether artificial sweeteners could cause weight gain by directly stimulat-ing the development of new fat cells.

5 Reasons for Considering Long-Term Care Insurance BY ROSEMARIE HURLEY, CSALong-Term Care Insurance Specialist

As a nation, improved longevity is a reality. Living longer is a

blessing but can propose significant financial worries. Here are the main reasons to protect yourself by invest-ing in Long-Term Care insurance.1. One in two people will need some form of assistance as they age, ac-cording to U.S. published statistics on LTC. 70 percent of those who are now 65 or older can be expected to need Long-Term Care. Half the people 85 or older are expected to develop some sort of dementia or Alzheimer’s.2. The cost of care is steadily rising. Expenses connected with this care, whether in a nursing facility, assisted living facility or at home, can be more than $100,000 per year depending on the care you need.3. Family members cannot be counted on. Family sizes are shrink-ing. People are having fewer children. And even when the family is able to assist, there are many times they are not qualifi ed to provide the care.4. Self-insuring is not a reasonable option. It sounds good and consider-ing it can make you feel better, but the fact is, very few families have $300,000 – $500,000 set aside for this purpose. According to some recently published surveys, savings accounts are rare and substantial savings are even more scarce.

5. The government will be trimming benefi ts, not enhancing them. There is a small amount of assistance in Medi-care for the fi rst 100 days depending on the circumstances of your need. This assistance is currently being scrutinized for a reduction. The Med-icaid program is even more fragile. The Long-Term Care plans being offered today have many options and innovative benefi t parameters to help you put together an affordable policy to offset these fi nancial woes. But of course, you must act before a health problem arises. It is much less expen-sive to seek this protection before poor health makes it diffi cult or impossible to purchase this type of protection. You will never save money by waiting until you are older, even though you will pay premiums longer statistically before you need the benefi t. And the healthier you are, the less you will have to pay for premiums. Be smart, plan ahead.

Nostalgia and Emotional Well-BeingResearch has shown that nostalgia

can be a very positive emo-tion and is even linked to higher self-esteem. Why is that? Krystine Batcho, Ph.D., a nostalgia expert says that nostalgia can be associated with a number of psychological benefits. For seniors, nostalgic reminiscence helps maintain a sense of continuity despite the constant flow of change over time. We see how rich our lives have been—how much joy, hard work, success and excitement we have experienced. During difficult times,

attention to our past can strengthen us by reminding us of how we survived challenges, loss, injury, failure or misfortune in the past. When we are sad or discouraged, it can be uplifting to remember that we are still the person who had been happy, strong and productive at times in our past. Our sense of who we are is closely related to how we see ourselves in relation to others. Research has shown that nostalgia can strengthen a sense of social connectedness by helping us ap-preciate what we have meant to others as well as what others have meant to us. Nostalgia can help a person cope with loneliness by enhancing the sense of social support that comes from knowing that each of us is someone’s daughter or son, mother or father, sister or brother. Nostalgic memories can help someone who is mourning the death of a family member by reminding us that the bonds we share with those we love survive physical separation. (Newswise)

Planning for Long-Term Care is so important. Learn all you can about something that can jeopardize the

financial future of your entire family.

BY CAROLYN BRENT

With an estimated 13 million baby boomers throughout the U.S. car-

ing for elderly parents, throngs of adult caregivers struggle with determining if their parent is fit to remain living alone. Here are 10 tell-tale signs that can give you peace of mind making this all-important decision:

1. Mom or Dad has always been a great housekeeper, but the house just doesn’t look like it used to: Ask your parent if help is needed with the clutter, but do it in a nonchalant way that could prompt a conversation indicating assistance is needed here.

2. The bills and other mail are piling up: Basic tasks that were often dealt

with quickly and easily when younger, but that are now falling by the wayside, are signs that your older parent could be getting overwhelmed and not able to managedaily affairs.

3. The checking account balance is wrong and bills are going unpaid: You may also discover amongst mail issues that your parent’s checking account ledger balance is wrong or in arrears. These are also signs that your parent is having memory issues or difficulty with simple math cognition.

4. Your parent is losing a lot of weight: A parent who may have lost their partner or who is generally depressed often loses interest in eating due to a reduced appetite.

5. They have forgotten the basics of hygiene: If you notice that your parents are wearing the same clothing day in and day out or that their hair or skin appears dirty on a fairly regular basis, they may have lost the motivation, ability and/or forethought to look after themselves.

6. They appear ininappropriate clothing:There is cause for

concern if your parent dons summerclothing in the dead of winter orleaves the house in a nightgownand slippers.

7. There are signs of forgetfulness in the home: All too often there are stories of older people who accidentally burned their houses down or have flooded the home due to forgetting.

8. Your parent regularly misses appointments and other important items: Forgetfulness, absentmindedness and memory issues may also show up when it comes to keeping certain appointments, recognizing key datesor taking meds.

9. They are just acting plain weird:If you see signs of paranoia, fear, strange phone calls and conversationsand nervousness, these should notbe overlooked.

10. They exhibit signs of depression: A loss of interest in caring for oneself as well as a lack of participation in socialization and in once-loved hobbies can mean that your parent needs treat-ment or should reside in an environment where they can be around other people.

BY CHUCK AND DENA BINGHAM

Jubilee (joo´ be-le´) n.: 1. A special anniversary e.g. a 60th anniversary. 2. A season or occasion of joyful celebration.

Olympics (o-lim´piks) pl.n.: In ancient Greece, a Pan-Hellenic festival of athletic games and contests.

If ever you considered traveling to Merry Olde England, or if it has

been some while since you’ve been, pack your bags and head to the Brit-ish Isles this summer. To kick off the summer season, Queen Elizabeth II will celebrate her Diamond Jubilee, her 60th anniversary as Reigning Monarch. The festivities will extend from June 2 to June 5. With a queen-sized array of special events and functions, this promises to be a truly royal experience.

But, if that’s not enough to get you to cross “the pond,” con-sider this: London will host the XXX Olympiad—the 30th modern-day Olympics from July 27 to August 12. Athletes from every corner of the world will compete in 26 sports. In London, everywhere you look you see signs of preparation activities for these two monumental occa-sions. Buildings are being cleaned and pressure-washed, revealing beautiful architecture hidden by

time and circumstance. Multilingual signs and icons are in place to guide visitors to their destinations. If you should need assistance, however, you can count on an affable Brit to help you find your way. And here was an unexpected treat—the cabbies were friendly, knowledge-able, and… they spoke English! My California brother and wife met my Florida wife and me in London. We started our tour of London from our hotel—Marriott’s Grosvenor House on Park Lane in historic Mayfair. This iconic hotel, built in 1929, is directly across from the 350-acre Hyde Park. A two-day Hop On / Hop Off bus pass from Golden Tours allowed us unlimited off and on opportunities at any of their 44 different stops. For our first outing, we stayed on board, hopping off only to enjoy a hearty lunch near Trafalgar Square. Buses run continuously throughout the day, so it was only a few minutes’ wait until we hopped on the next bus and continued our journey. We traversed the city in about five hours, making notes on our bus schedule of the major points of interest for future reference. Each bus has a tour guide on board who points out rich historical events along the way. Next day, we emerged from our hotel and hailed a taxi (unless you have a death wish, you’ll want to take taxis everywhere—remember there are 7 million people driving on the “wrong”

side of the road, sitting in the “wrong” side of the front seat!). We took a taxi to the Tower of London—re-ally a castle. There are over a dozen “towers” within the two concentric walls of the fortress. Started in 1066, it has been an armed fortress, a royal residence and a prison. It currently houses the Crown Jewels and serves as a working museum of almost 1,000 years of English history. Spend the day, it’s worth it. That evening we made our way to the West End theater district, which is like New York’s Broadway but with a posh British flair. All the world-class stage shows are here, as well as eateries and pubs for every palate and pocketbook. We started our third morning with a hotel change to the Lancaster London, which offered a panoramic view of Hyde Park, Knightsbridge and Oxford Street from our 18th floor room. After breakfast we headed to Buckingham Palace, where we were treated like—you guessed

it—royalty. It is difficult to illustrate the opulence that surrounds you. You can take a guided tour or rent a headset that explains the origin of the contents of each room. This is a must-see venue while you are here. Then it was back to our hotel where the ladies enjoyed afternoon tea, complete with finger sandwiches, scones and sweets. That evening we had reservations for the London Eye River Cruise at dusk and the London Eye at night—think huge Ferris wheel which tops out at 440 feet. The en-closed gondolas give you a spectacular view of London by night. Awesome. Our fourth day in the city allowed us time to explore the shops from Hyde Park to Knightsbridge, including Har-rod’s. A trip to London is not complete without a visit to this must-see shop-ping mecca. That evening, we found a delightful backstreet neighborhood pub for dinner. We raised our glasses and toasted family reunions. It was a perfect ending to a perfect visit.

Travel Tips For The Heart Smart Among UsFar too many people

see taking vacations as a free pass to eat what-ever they want and worry about the consequences afterwards. How many times have you yourself promised to go on a diet as soon as you returned from that luxury cruise or holiday visit to see the family? We’re all guilty of that. But for those of us who are at elevat-ed risk for heart disease, there’s no such thing as taking a vacation from a healthy lifestyle. Here are some of the most helpful heart healthy travel tips to help keep you on track while you vacation.

Plan heart healthy travel activities. Wherever you go, there will be plenty of opportunities to get your exercise, even if you’re on vacation mode. Hopping aboard a cruise ship? There’s plenty of room to walk around each day to keep your heart and muscles pumping. Cloistering up in a romantic hotel for a few days? Seek out nearby health clubs where you can get a day pass, or find out if the hotel you’ll be staying at offers gym services.

Create a daily agenda and stick to it. There’s nothing easier to do than to fall into relaxation mode because you’ve got nothing special planned and are in no rush to do it. But if you make sure to plan out your activities in advance, you won’t have the opportunity to let last night’s dinner go to work on your waist-line—you’ll be too busy being on the move, which is one of the best possible heart healthy travel tips.

Eat smart. Heart healthy travel is only an impossibil-ity if you’ve convinced yourself that there’s no way in the world to eat healthy when you’re on vacation. Fortunately,

as long as you recognize that’s just an excuse to enable you to ignore your heart health, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t be able to eat smart wher-ever you are. Opt for heart healthy or vegetarian dishes when you’re dining in restaurants and choose fruit desserts instead of cardiovascular no-no’s.

Be aware of your surroundings. Vacation destina-tions that experi-ence extreme climates (whether hot or cold) can be unhealthy for those with existing

heart issues. Plan ahead by researching the climate of your destination and by finding out what the expected forecast will be when you’re there. Pack vaca-tion attire that matches up well with the expected climate. Over-exerting yourself in hot or humid weather is bad for you, but so is overdoing it in cold weather. Altitude is another important consideration, because the higher the altitude, the less oxygen your body

gets—making your heart work harder even when resting. You don’t have to avoid vacation destinations with high altitudes, but it’s a smart idea to hold off on any high energy activities until you’ve had a couple of days to acclimate.

There are many ways to achieve heart healthy travel that won’t cause you any major health setbacks, but in the end it’s entirely up to you to ensure you make those smart choices. Article provided by spot55.com.

1. Recommit yourself to your marriage everysingle day.2. Evaluate where your self-worth comes from.3. Verbalize to your spouse the things you love and appreciate about him or her all of the time.4.

What Happens When You Hang Up Your Car Keys?Driving off into the sunset—many

older drivers have no plan in place after they hang up their car keys. Florida is home to one of the highest percentages of residents ages 65 and older in the United States, but very few of them have thought ahead to a time when they will no longer be able to drive a vehicle safely or considered how they will get around without a car, according to a new survey developed by Florida State University and the Florida Department of Transportation.

In fact, 13 percent of survey respondents indicated they would not stop driving at all, with three percent expressing the opinion that they would die before they would stop driving. The findings reflect a serious issue in Florida—and across the nation—that older drivers are at

a disproportionate risk for being involved in a fatal vehicular crash, according to John Reynolds, director of the university’s Pepper Institute on Aging and Public Policy. To address the problem, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) awarded the Pepper Institute grants totaling $475,000 to assist it in estab-lishing and implementing a statewide coalition to create a statewide Aging Road User Strategic Safety Plan.

Recent findings: Most older drivers don’t plan for a future day when they may be unable to drive safely. Eighty-three percent of survey respondents ages 65 and older, and 92 percent of 50- to 64-year-olds, reported that they have no “transporta-tion retirement plan.” When asked to describe how they might transition from driving in the future, many indicated they would rely on family, friends or neighbors, but many more replied that they did not know or

had not ever thought about it. Very few stated that they planned to use a community driver program or para-transit service such as Dial-A-Ride. Many aging road users see no alternatives to driving in their com-munities. When asked about ways they get around besides driving a car, riding with family or friends or walking were options, and 15 percent said there was no other way to get around other than driving. Responses revealed that overall, older drivers consider roads in the state to be fairly safe. “Though many aging drivers in Florida view

our roads as very or somewhat safe, we found a lot of concern about the other drivers who are on them,” Reynolds said. “People responding to the survey voiced frustration, and sometimes anger, at other drivers who are talking on their phones, texting or are otherwise being careless while they drive. This concern is being heard all around the country.” Residents ages 65 and older make up almost 18 percent of the Sunshine State’s population. In 2008, 447 older adults were killed in automobile crashes on Florida roads, making up about 15 percent of all crash fatalities in the state. “There are so many groups and agencies throughout the state that are committed to making our roads and communities safer for older adults,” Reynolds said. “The coalition brings these groups together to work as a team on the objectives and goals identified in the strategic safety plan.” (Newswise)

Older Americans Want to be Like Betty WhitePeople chose

Betty White as the notable per-sonality over the age of 60 that they most want to be like in retirement—because she knows how to laugh. Betty beats out Jimmy Carter, Martha Stewart, Helen Mirren, Steven Tyler, Jack Welch and George Foreman, according to those who responded to a new survey gauging attitudes, opinions, reflections and projections of people who are within 10 years of retiring versus those who have retired within the last 10 years.Here are some of the survey results:• The retirement experience maybe better than expected.• Remaining healthy in retirementis top-of-mind.

• Most often, it’s a milestone birthday that triggers serious financial planning.• Retirees are willing to give up some “extras” to make ends meet (moving to a more modest home or driving a less-expensive car is easier for them than to give up dining out, entertain-ment and recreation, however).• If they could change one aspect of retirement, retirees say they would have saved more money or been better prepared financially. • When asked how long they would like to live, most said “as long as I am healthy.”• When asked what song they’d use to describe the retirement they have, or the one they hope to have, the song most often chosen was (I Did It) “My Way.” For more information, visit TheHartford.com/retirementstudy.

Florida Strawberry Mania Time!“Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did.” —Dr. William Butler, 17th Century English Writer

A part from tasting simply delicious,

strawberries have beneficial effects on your health. They are low in fat and calories, naturally high in fiber, vitamin C, folate, potas-sium and antioxidants.

Compared to fruits like apples, oranges or bananas, they score highest in most of the nutrients. So, enjoy the season’s bounty of berries.
