SHIRLEY'S WORLD... REVISITED

By Shirley Shapiro

THE GOOD OLD DAYS

“Look what I made on my com-puter, Grandma.”

Joshua’s face was pink from thecold air. Bits of snow fell from hisski suit and landed near my feet. Ibreathed in the sweet innocentsmell of his body as he struggledout of his jacket.

“Computers?” I asked. “Theyhave computers in elementaryschool?”

He wrinkled his nose. “Come on,Grandma. Sure they have com-puters.”

“Even in second grade?”“Sure. Even in kindergarten.

What grade did they have them inwhen you went to school?”

I laughed.”When I went toschool? They didn’t have suchthings as computers when I wentto school.”

Joshua climbed on my lap andcuddled against me, his widebrown eyes staring into my face.For a moment, I tried to remem-

ber who he was, my son, mygrandson or my great-grandson.They all had the same brown eyes,the small freckled nose.

His laugh reminded me that thiswas Joshua, my great-grandson.There was something about hislaugh that was his alone.

“Come on, Grandma. Stop kid-ding. How could you do yourhomework without a computer?”

“Well, Josh, in my day welearned the ABC’s. Our brain wasour computer.”

He laughed again and leanedhis head against me. I ran my fin-gers through his thick dark hair.His father and grandfather hadthick dark hair once. Now hisfather’s hair was thinning and hisgrandfather had turned complete-ly bald before he died.

“Would you like a slice of SaraLee cake and a glass of milk,Joshua?”

I thought for a minute of mygrandmother. She always hadfreshly baked cake for me when Ivisited her. I could still smell thedelicious cinnamon buns warmand gooey from her oven.Sometimes, I’m almost tempted tobake like she did, by why competewith Sara Lee?

“No, thanks. Mommy got me ayogurt on the way home fromschool.”

My leg started to get numb fromthe bony tush bearing down on it,but I hated to push him off. Mymoments with him were all too

few and the years have a way ofracing ahead.

His fingers played along thewrinkles on my face. I knew thequestion that was coming evenbefore he asked it.

“Why does your face have somany lines, Grandma?”

“Because I’m an old lady, Josh,and when people get old, thingschange.”

I tried to smile, but for somereason my lips turned into a frownas I waited for the next question.

“Are you gonna die soon? I sawa show on TV and the lady was oldand she got sick and died.”

I hugged him tighter. The numb-ness in my leg traveled down tomy calf. I shifted his weight andtried to change the subject.

“I don’t want you to die. I wouldmiss you.”

“Well, I’m not planning to diesoon, so don’t you worry.”

I tried to remember if death wasever discussed when I was a child,or even when my children wereyoung.

What isn’t discussed now, Iwondered. This is a modern world;a world of computers andInternet. Instead of innocence,children know about violence andsex and death before they knowhow to tie their shoelaces. Insteadof Howdy Doody they see MTV andcondom commercials. Oh, for thegood old days.

The numbness reached myankles. Soon, my toes would be

asleep. I eased Joshua off my lapjust as his mother tooted the horn.

I watched from my window asthey drove away. The trees on thecondo lawn were bare, the sky adismal gray. The glow haddisappeared from the horizon.

I thought again about the goodold days when movies cost a dime,candy cost a penny and a great bigcone of ice cream covered withjimmies was three cents. Then Iremembered how difficult it was tosave up enough money during thedepression for those luxuries. Isaw my mother scrubbing clotheson a washboard in a dark cellarand hanging them on a clotheslinein our tiny back yard. I heard thebed sheets flapping in the windand I smelled the garbage and ani-mal droppings in the alley.

My stomach growled in remem-brance of the times it lacked foodin “the good old days.” Were theyreally so good?

Time was growing shorter. I wentto my room and put fresh make-up on, trying to mask some of thewrinkles.

There would be just enough timeto throw some clothes in the wash-er and dryer, thaw out a hamburg-er patty for dinner, go to my yogaclass, and later, a game of canas-ta. If my friend, Alfred, calls,maybe we can go to a movie.

The leaves on the tree might bedead and buried, but a lot of lifestill clings to the roots.

SCAM ALERTSOCIAL SECURITY

White collar thieves are now going on line and

opening up accounts with stolen Social Security

numbers. They are armed with other private

information and are able to change addresses,

etc. and direct Social Security checks to “pay as

you go debit cards” that cannot be traced. I know

because it happened to my nephew and myself.

Although nothing was changed in my case - I

received a letter from Social Security thanking

me for opening up an on-line account, and, if I did

not, to call them immediately. As a result and a

solution, I put a block on my Social Security so

that if I want or need to make any changes, I have

to go in person with proper picture I.D. Small

price to pay. They informed me that this is an

epidemic and they can’t keep ahead of this kind

of theft. So, if you are able - put a block on your

account and save yourself some heartache.

SIXTH ANNUAL GET-TOGETHER

By Beverly Erickson

Months before notices wereposted at the six buildings ofPlymouth III. The notice said tosave the date, January 26, 2014.The date has been the same everyyear. It is usually the Sundaybefore the Super Bowl. One time itwas a week earlier and I was com-peting with a playoff game. I surelearned my lesson. After that timeI would check the football andbasketball schedules. The onlyactivity I was competing with wasthe Chili Cook-Off. That attractsyoung people so I was safe. Amonth before I posted a noticeexplaining every resident ofPlymouth III was invited; justbring something to share. Theassociation would provide themain course. Weeks before theparty everyone watched theweather reports. A pool party

needs pleasant weather.The day before CVP brought 50

extra chairs to the pool. Thankyou George Beckhart. Little did Irealize that wouldn’t be enough.Nimit and I set up the chairs.

Then Joe and I cleaned them.What a job that was. Sheila, Nimitand I went to Walmart to order thechicken and buy everything else.

The day of the party Richardand I blew up balloons and set upthe tables and everything else toprepare for the party. Joe, Nimitand I went for the chicken and icefor the drinks. People startedarriving around 1 p.m. Party wasscheduled for 2 p.m. My greathelpers included Judy, Nilda,Joe,Nimit, Richard, Bev and Bella.My daughter, Cheryl and grand-daughter, Blanche came fromHomestead to help. After all it istradition!

We had so many different typesof food. It was so delicious andmany different cultures were rep-resented. Richard had his placepouring the sodas as usual.Remember what I said about tra-dition!

There turned out to be over 170

people. The biggest get-together inthe six years. The weather wasperfect. A plaque was presented toHerb Elkind, former president forhis years of dedicated service. Awell-deserved reward. It is diffi-cult to follow in his footsteps.

I really need to thank my board:Joe, Richard, Ellie, Ed and Bill forcooperating with everything. Nildais my recording secretary and ismy right hand person. I hope Ididn’t forget anyone but I’m sureeveryone was happy and well fed.

It is going to be hard to beat thisnext year but you can be sure wewill try. Sunday evening we wentto bed extremely tired but with asmile upon our face. Plymouth IIIis the best!

LEGAL CORNER

It is the ‘season’ here in SouthFlorida, humidity is gone, andthe thermometer is in the com-fortable range. This means thereturn of the ‘snowbirds’,tourists, Cana-dians, and forsome unknown reason an uptickin road construction (you wouldthink they would this during theslower, less crowded summermonths). All of this translatesinto crowded roads, back-ups,and inevitable auto accidents.

Statistically, most of us havenever been involved in a car acci-dent, it happens to the otherguy. This means that we areunfamiliar with what we need todo immediately AFTER a colli-sion. In order to protect yourselfafter a car accident, you shouldremember (assuming you arephysically able) to do the follow-ing:

- Obtain the names, addressesand phone numbers of all driversinvolved in the car accident.

- Obtain each driver’s carinsurance company’s name andpolicy number.

- Report the accident immedi-ately to the police and yourinsurance company whether ornot it was your fault.

- Cooperate with the police inpreparing an accident report.

- Photograph the exterior andinterior of the vehicles, and theother people involved in the acci-dent (know how to use the cam-era on your cell phone, or buy adisposable camera and keep it inyour glove compartment).

- See a physician if you arehaving any pain,don’t delay.Unfortunately, most times thepain will not subside withoutsome treatment, it usually gets

worse. - Get legal advice before filing

out insurance documents or giv-ing recorded statements to anyinsurance company (even yourown insurance company) ormeeting with any insurancecompany representative.

- Photograph your injuries.The bruises and cuts may heal;however, the tissue beneath theskin may not completely heal.Photographs of your bruises andcuts will support the magnitudeof the injury.

- Gather all automobile insur-ance policies in your householdfor evaluation by an attorney.You may be entitled to insurancecoverage from a separate insur-ance policy.

- Get legal advice before sign-ing any check or document fromany insurance company.

Call my office as soon as prac-tically possible.

Insurance can be confusing,especially automobile insurancein Florida (where we have somevery strange laws and require-ments). Here is a handy guideas to what types of automobileinsurance that you can buy,BEFORE you have an accident:Personal Injury Protection(PIP):

It covers 80 percent of yourmedical expenses and 60 per-cent of your lost wages up to$10,000, if you are in a car acci-

dent. It does not matter whosefault the accident was; PIP paysregardless of fault.This coverageis mandatory in Florida. Therehave been some recent changesin the law, so it is crucial thatyou contact your attorney with-out delay after an accidentMedical Payments (Medpay):

It covers the 20% of medicalbills that PIP does not and billsgreater then $10,000.00,depending on the coverage youselect, if you choose to pay forsuch coverage.Property Damage (PD):

It covers any damage to anoth-er person’s vehicle, if the acci-dent is your fault. Like PIP, thiscoverage is also mandatory inFlorida.Bodily Injury (BI):

If the car accident is your fault,BI coverage pays for the pain andsuffering of another person. Thistype of insurance is not requiredin Florida (I never will under-stand why it is not required). Ifyou do not carry this coverage,and cause an accident and cannot prove financial responsibili-ty, you may lose your drivingprivileges. Obviously, it is a verygood idea to have it, to protectyou and your personal assets.Uninsured/UnderinsuredMotorist (UM):

This insurance pays for yourpain and suffering if you are hurt

Continued on Page 56


by the fault of another driver,and that driver either has noinsurance or too little insuranceto cover the extent of yourinjuries. To protect yourself,since there are so many driverswho do not carry BI coverage,when they cause your accident, Iurge you to carry UM coverage.Collision

Damage to your vehicle causedby any car accident, even if thedamage is your fault. It isoptional in Florida. It is impor-tant especially if you have anewer vehicle, it may be arequirement if you have a leasedvehicle.

I have been a practicing attor-ney for over 35 years in theSouth Florida area.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

It's almost a requirement of liv-ing in Century Village to com-plain about things.

One of the subjects of thiswhining is Kent Security, andtheir staff of guards. We are con-stantly reminded to treat themwith respect because they arejust doing their jobs.

In fact, we should be very grate-ful we have the services of such astaff. With the changing nature ofour community, (and society ingeneral), keeping order in a largediverse area is no small feat. Anincreasing amount of distur-bances and incidents are routine-ly handled without much fanfareor credit being given to the offi-cers.

In particular, SupervisingOfficer Mirlande Mazard hasexhibited outstanding skill in theperformance of her most difficultjob. I saw her handle a difficultincident involving a disturbedindividual with tact and diploma-cy far exceeding what would beexpected. Her ability to diffusethe situation calmly was extraor-dinary. And amazingly, she con-tinues to follow up to see that thesituation doesn’t return.

We have all suffered “the inso-lence of office”; it is so refreshingto find a contrarian among us.

Louis Becher


This letter is directed to theperson or persons who programthe movie schedules for our the-atre. Occasionally a movie isshown two Sundays in a row.This is really unfair becausemany of us enjoy the Sundaymatinee movie, after which wehave dinner out. This has becomea very pleasant routine for ourSunday activity.

I don’t know whether theirrepeating a movie two Sundays ina row is a matter of convenienceor connivance. I cannot believeThe Lone Ranger was held overby popular demand. We saw TheLone Ranger the first Sunday itwas shown and we noticed wewere almost the lone viewers.

The second Sunday of its show-ing in our theatre, we chose tosee the nostalgia film MadameCurie, which had been one of myfavorites; however that’s notalways the case with the nostal-gia films.

Personally, I still miss thechannel TCM which still showsthese old films. Comcast removedTCM from our basic cable. Wehad always had it available to usuntil recently.

In closing, I hope these com-ments may remind managementthat we rely on them to show a dif-ferent movie every Sunday. I also

hope that Comcast can be per-suaded to give us TCM in exchangefor some of the channels they mag-nanimously gave us instead ofTCM, which we truly prefer.

Thank you so much.Most sincerely,Arline Fischer


SAY IT AIN’T SO, JOE!Tell me it is a rumor... tell me it

is not true! Please tell me that theCavendish programs will not becancelled!

Over the past years, so many ofus have enjoyed their operatic andBroadway melodies... so many ofus have left the theater hummingthe tunes and relishing themoments of pleasure that weexperienced.

Now is the time that fans of theCavendish programs should bom-bard the administrative andCOOPPA offices with phone calls,letters, and yes, even petitions,protesting the planned cancella-tion.

When we succeed and theCavendishes do return on a regu-lar schedule, we must attend ingreat numbers. That is the leastwe can do!

Full Service House CleaningCarpet & Upholstery Cleaning


By Ray Shultz, COOPPA President and Bill Moses, M&O Committee Chairman

Based on the types of questions constantly being asked by both new and long-term residents, we decided topresent an article which would hopefully clear up misconceptions and explain functions of various entities ofCentury Village Pembroke Pines.

COOPPA (Condominium Owners of Pembroke Pines Association) our umbrella organization, works on behalfof the 32 autonomous Associations that are represented in Century Village of Pembroke Pines. COOPPA commit-tees put together proposals for the Associations, who in turn either approve or reject what is presented.

COOPPA publishes a newspaper, The COOPPA Guardian. Our publication keeps residents informed as towhat is occurring in the Village. It also features many diversified articles submitted by residents, as well asour local and government representatives.

COOPPA also has a working relationship with the service company, Total Appliance. Should a problem arise,COOPPA will intercede on behalf of our residents.

COOPPA conducts ten monthly meetings with its Executive Board (thirty-two Association representatives). Management and Operations Committee (M&O). This committee came into existence in 2004 per an

agreement between COOPPA and CVP Community Center, a Florida Corporation. By a separate agreement,the M&O Committee was mandated to review and approve the annual budget, and all direct contracts of CVPCommunity Center, Pines Master Management, and Newcen Golf Course, Inc. M&O acts on behalf of the7,780 unit owners in seeing that the living conditions at CVPP (Century Village of Pembroke Pines) remainsat a high level. CVP Community Center is responsible for recreational activities (clubhouse, swimming pools)and Pines Master Management the common elements and services needed to run a village of our size. TheM&O Committee approves what is being done in CVPP on behalf of the residents.

The M&O Committee can proudly claim that this group is dedicated to seeing that the standard of living inCVPP remains at the highest level at the most reasonable cost. The nicest part is that this Committee has nopersonal agenda other than CVPP.

Of course, everyone remembers Hurricane Wilma. CVPP incurred quite a bit of damage. The Committee'sprudent financial management was able to avoid an assessment to our unit owners. We did delay some proj-ects that are now a reality. We are rebuilding our reserves so that if another catastrophe occurs, we will beready to handle it financially.

M&O works closely with our entertainment director who provides us with quality entertainment during theseason as well as off-season. We have maintained a reasonable ticket price level, particularly when you seethe cost of the tickets on the outside for some of the same shows we enjoy.

M&O reports to the Executive Committee monthly about their meetings with Management in accordancewith the mandate given the Committee and the bylaws of COOPPA. This is the Committee's only responsibil-ity to COOPPA. Nowhere is the Committee responsible or required to be linked to the Officers of COOPPA. Thefunctions and responsibilities of COOPPA and M&O are completely opposite and not overlapping in any way,shape or manner.

The Association. Each one is a separate corporation under Chapter 718 Fl. Statute, the Condominium Act.As a corporation, it is run by a board of directors who elect the officers. Everything within the boundaries ofthe Association, with the exclusion of the satellite pool, is the Board's responsibility (maintenance, finances,insurance, general upkeep such as irrigation, landscaping, etc.). If there is a problem in the Association a unitowner must approach the Board's directors to remedy the problem. Each Association has contracted with amanagement company (First Service Residential, Progressive Management) to provide the services needed toundertake the running and upkeep of the Association. Boards are required to meet at least twice a year (bud-get meeting and annual meeting). It is the Board's sole responsibility to run the business of the corporationon behalf of its unit owners.

First Service Residential and Progressive Management. Each Association contracts with a ManagementCompany to provide the necessary services for the Association to function. Examples are janitorial, bookkeep-ing and accounting, landscaping, irrigation, maintenance, etc. The Management Companies work with theAssociation to get competitive bids when required, offer guidance at Board meetings and handle the sale andrental agreements on behalf of the Association.

CVP Community Center (CVP) administers the clubhouse as well as the various recreation facilities inCVPP. They offer classes to residents, a library, meeting rooms, a party room for functions our clubs andAssociations may want to hold, fitness centers, billiard room and provides entertainment, i.e., live shows,dances and movies.

Pines Master Management is responsible for the common element areas outside the domain of theAssociations. This includes roadways, lighting, security, bus services (both internal and external), landscap-ing, offices that take care of the administrative functions, resident ID's, auto decals, in-house TV channel andall other functions.

As we stated at the outset of this article, this is meant to give everyone an idea of what the functions of eachCVP element is. We believe the items outlined in this article will give everyone an idea of the responsibilities ofeach group. It should be noted that all Officers of COOPPA, the COOPPA Guardian staff, the M&O Committee andthe individual Associations are volunteers and DO NOT receive financial compensation.

Failed Back Surgery Involves Incredible

AGONY

S.C. Physician owned. The patient and any other person responsible for payment has a right to refuse to pay, cancel payment, or be reimbursed for payment for any other service, examination, or treatment that is performed as a result of and within 72 hours of responding to the advertisement for the free, discounted fee, or reduced fee service, examination, or treatment. Value of Complimentary Multi-Point Evaluation ($230.00).

Why Not Use Steroid Shots?Although steroids are

frequently injected to treat

inflammatory conditions

with success, they are

not usually effective for

chronic tissue damage or

degenerative tissues. They can potentially

cause tissue damage and significant side

effects if performed habitually.

Which Type of RegenerativeTherapy is Best for Me?Upon reviewing your medical records and

undergoing a complete evaluation, your

physician will determine which specific

therapy is best for you. For simple cases

with minimal tissue damage or degeneration.

Prolotherapy may be recommended. When

the condition is more advanced, then

Platelet Rich Plasma Grafting (PRP) or Bone

Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) may

be a more suitable alternative.

How Many Treatments areUsually Necessary?The amount of treatments is dependent

on several factors: type and severity of the

damaged tissue, location, nutritional state of

the patient, age and generic factors. Usually

with our PRP procedure two treatments, four

to six weeks apart, are necessary to achieve

the desired outcome. With our BMAC

procedure usually one treatment is required.

Where is the RegenerativeTherapy Done?

Regenerative Therapy

is mostly performed on

ligaments, tendon, joints

(major and minor), and

sometimes nerves. Usually the treatment of

multiple sites are the most efficacious and yield

the best outcome. The following are commonly

treated conditions:

Spine: Sacroiliac joint, Iliolumbar

ligaments, facet joints.

Shoulder: Rotator cuff-partial tears, Biceps

tendinosis, chronic Glenohumeral ligament

sprains. Acromioclavicular joint dysfunction

and pain. Levator scapula tendinosis.

Elbow: Tennis and Golfer’s elbow. Ulnar

collateral ligament injury, distal biceps

tendon partial tear.

Wrist & Hand: Chronic joint sprain and arthritis.

Hip/Pelvis/SI Joints: Pyriformis syndrome,

Greater trochanteric bursitis. Sacroiliac joint

dysfunction, hamstring strain, bursitis, hip joint

arthritis.

Knee: Patellar tendinitis/tendinopathy. Osgood-

Schlatter’s disease, quadriceps strain or partial

tear, degenerative arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis,

Chondromalacia patella, Enthesopathy.

Ankle & Foot: Chronic ligament strain,chronic

Achilles tendinitis, chronic partial tendon tear,

plantar fasciitis, arthritic joints.

When Can I Return to Work ofResume My Usual Activities?Since the procedure is minimally invasive,

in 24 hours the patient usually returns to

same activity level prior to the procedure.

However, every patient is unique and

requires specific recommendations. The

decision is usually made according to the

progress, lack of symptoms and response to

therapy. Remember the regenerative process

takes time and usually requires several

interventions to achieve the desired goal.

Are There Any Specific InstructionsBefore or After the Procedure?With PRP and BMAC all non-steroidal

anti-inflammatory medications (aleve, motrin,

ibuprofen, anaprox etc.) should be stopped

for one week prior to and one month after

the procedure. According to which specific

tissue is treated, certain restrictions will

apply. Usually there is localized soreness and

discomfort lasting for 24-48 hours. Medications

will be prescribed if necessary to alleviate the

symptoms. Other instructions will be given

which pertains to the specific type of

intervention to be performed.

Is the Procedure Covered byMy Insurance Plan?Most insurance plans cover the specific

types of procedure. However, the cost

of the supplies for PRP and BMAC are

frequently excluded. Separate financial

arrangements are sometimes necessary.

Regenerative Injection TherapyRegenerative Injection Therapy

is a new approach, utilizing

minimally invasive interventions

to induce and accelerate tissue

healing, previously damaged

by a disease process or trauma. In some

circumstances, tissue regeneration can be

accomplished, eliminating the need for more

invasive surgical interventions.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)An advanced type of therapy,

in which the patient’s blood

is drawn from a vein and

concentrated by a special

centrifuge device, ultimately

creating a concentrate of platelets in plasma.

This concentrate contains up to 500% of

bioactive proteins, along with multiple growth

factors, which are essential in inducing and

accelerating tissue repair and

regeneration. The PRP is

injected into specific tissues

by using the most advanced

tissue guidance with

ultrasound. Most of the benefit is seen in

fluoroscopic guidance.

2013 IN REVIEW -SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?

By Rose Boyarsky

Hard to digest as our problemsare getting out of hand, poppingup like mushrooms after a rain.You just begin to debate or solveone problem, and the next one ison its way. Iraq, the same old bat-tlefield as Sunnis & Shias willnever give up their struggle forpower. Al Qaeda is well and aliveeverywhere showing their finger-prints, even now trainingAmericans too. Bloody fights inSyria even after agreeing forpeace. Well, Obama admits thereis concern about the chemicalshidden by the Assad regime. Itshouldn’t be a surprise butexpected. Death toll rises inAfghanistan with many Americancasualties. Lebanon bombingskill many including formerAmbassador to the Us. Egypt isnot behind either as fighting goeson for power. Now we have to seeafter the new elections the out-come. But don’t be too optimistic.So deadly violence across theMiddle East is not over. Oh, in themiddle of this jungle of hate, evento each other, but especially toIsrael they are united. So why is

our government working so hardto bring peace between Israel &the Palestinians? Is it the righttime? Or is it for the legacy ofNobel Peace Prize? Does the P.A.agree that they too have to con-tribute to peace with Israel? Andsay loud & clear to the Arabs andthe world that yes, Israel has aright to exist as a Jewish State,which is missing. Instead weheard loud & clear Abba’s sayingthere is to be no recognition ofIsrael as a Jewish State. Yes, onlyif Israel will give in to theirdemands, which means suicidefor Israel. And with Hezbollah &Hamas backed by Iran, what isthere to expect? As we saw onCNN how Hamas terrorists areteaching teens how to wage Jihadwar against Israel. And the latestinvention of terror called “miniintifada” is used (not major) whilepeace talks go on. Just as ayoung Israeli soldier was shotfrom Lebanon border leaving ayoung widow & 11 month oldchild. Rocket attack in KiryatShmona. Bomb attack thwartedon a bus by the driver in BatYam. And the list goes on. So whywas Israel forced to free so manyterrorists with blood on theirhands again? And the irony isthey are getting a warm welcomefrom the P.A. as heroes, and yesthey join the path of terror again.Only if a real and lasting peacewill be achieved to free them. Andisn’t that deal with Iran alsostepping on thin ice? So why arewe rewarding them in advance?Do they promise to give up at all

their ambition to develop a nuke?Will they stop aiding & financingterror against the U.S., the West &Israel? Oh, how soon we forgot ourpast errors, contributing to the fallof the Shah, letting the brutalregime with Ayatollah Khomeinitake over, who were keeping manyAmerican hostages. Oh, Benghaziis not dead. Only the victims are.More shocking evidence is comingout that it could have been pre-vented. There is also good reasonwhy Hillary Clinton resigned dueto pointing some blame on her.Oh, she is also preparing herselfto run again in 2016 to get to theWhite House as President. Well,I’ll say she is going with a healthyhead into a sick bed. The chapterrevealed by Snowden about spyingon allies will not disappear sosoon as more evidence is comingout. No wonder Chancellor Amjelafrom Germany is mad. So thePresident invited her to “patchup.” The President also ordered tostop the spying on Germany &other allies. Does it mean Israeltoo? So it’s time to free Pollard too.Oh, the latest bombshell are thememoirs by former DefenseSecretary Gates, pulling the cur-tains of the White House. Sadly,all in negative episodes as hequestioned Obama’s and Biden’sleadership. Who knows how longthis chapter will be dragged, tak-ing away the attention fromimportant issues to solve. Yes,enough headaches, but sadlymany caused by errors & notlearning from the past or doingthe homework. No, there is no bet-

ter news domestically. Shootingafter shooting at airports, shop-ping malls, theaters, and yes inschools from grade school to uni-versities. Followed by tragedies.Plane crash, plane lands at wrongairport, chemical spill into a riverleaving so many without water.Train sped 82 mph killing 4, injur-ing many. Sadly in many casesdue to the use of drugs. The latest(too often) fire in California causedby humans. We ask why are youdestroying our once great coun-try? Oh, the latest “Bridgegate”scandal in New Jersey giving hellto so many bridge riders everyday, caused by the Governor as heis now in hot water trying to blameothers & that he didn’t know issomething wrong. But the irony ishe also has an eye on the WhiteHouse to run in 2016, so he left allthe problems and came to Floridato meet & greet the major donorsto his campaign. We ask, whenwill the dirty political behavior oneither side stop? As well as wast-ing time and energy too much inadvance, badly needed to solveour problems. Oh, I just read amillionaire was found guilty ofhiding 25 million in Swiss banks.Is this new? They all do it and it’stime to ban this business. Letthem keep it in American banksand pay their share in taxes justlike we ordinary hard working cit-izens carrying the burden. So,now the question is what have wereally achieved in 2013? Oh, legal-izing marijuana in many states.Why? Is this an important issue,

DENTAL HEALTH NEWS

OSTEONECROSIS OFTHE JAW

OverviewIf you use a bisphosphonate

medication to prevent or treatosteoporosis (a thinning of thebones) or as part of cancer treat-ment therapy, you should adviseyour dentist. In fact, any timeyour health history or medica-tions change, you should makesure the dental office has themost recent information in yourpatient file. Here is why:

Some bisphosphonate medica-tions (such as Fosamax, Actonel,Boniva) are taken orally to helpprevent or treat osteoporosis andPaget’s Disease of the bone.Others, such as Didronel orZometa, are administered intra-venously as part of cancer thera-py to reduce bone pain andhypercalcemia of malignancy(abnormally high calcium levelsin the blood), associated with

metastatic breast cancer,prostate cancer and multiplemyeloma.

In rare instances, some individ-uals receiving intravenous bis-phosphonates for cancer treat-ment have developed osteonecro-sis of the jaw, a rare but seriouscondition that involves severeloss, or destruction of the jaw-bone.

Symptoms include, but are notlimited to:• Pain, swelling or infection of thegums or jaw• Gums that are not healing• Loose teeth• Numbness or a feeling of heavi-ness in the jaw• Drainage• Exposed bone

If you receive intravenous bis-phosphonates (or received themwithin the past year) and experi-ence any of these or other dentalsymptoms, tell your oncologistand your dentist immediately.

More rarely, osteonecrosis ofthe jawbone has occurred inpatients taking oral bisphospho-nates. Most cases of osteonecro-sis of the jaw associated with bis-phosphonates have been diag-nosed after dental proceduressuch as tooth extractions; how-ever the condition can also occurspontaneously. Also, invasivedental procedures, such asextractions or other surgery thataffects the bone can worsen thiscondition. Patients currentlyreceiving intravenous bisphos-phonates should avoid invasivedental procedures if possible.The risk of osteonecrosis of the

jaw in patients using oral bispho-sphonates following dental sur-gery appears to be low.

Am I at RiskBecause osteonecrosis of the

jaw is rare, researchers cannotyet predict who, among users,will develop it. To diagnoseosteonecrosis of the jaw, doctorsmay use x-rays or test for infec-tion (taking microbial cultures).Treatments for osteonecrosis ofthe jaw may include antibiotics,oral rinses and removable mouthappliances. Minor dental workmay be necessary to removeinjured tissue and reduce sharpedges of damaged bone. Surgeryis typically avoided because itmay make the condition worse.The consensus is that good oralhygiene along with regular dentalcare is the best way to lower yourrisk of developing osteonecrosis.

Cancer Treatment and OralHealth

Dental care is an importantelement of overall cancer treat-ment. As soon as possible aftercancer diagnosis, the patient’streatment team should involvethe dentist. Individuals who willundergo cancer treatmentshould:• Schedule a dental exam andcleaning before cancer treatmentbegins and periodically during the course of treatment.• Tell the dentist that he or shewill be treated for cancer.• Discuss dental procedures,such as extractions or insertionof dental implants, with the

oncologist before starting thecancer treatment.• Have the dentist check andadjust removable dentures asneeded.• Tell the dentist and physicianabout any bleeding of the gums,or pain or unusual feeling in the teeth or gums, or any den-tal infections.• Update a medical history recordwith the dentist to include thecancer diagnosis and treatments. • Provide the dentist and oncolo-gist with each other’s name andtelephone number for consultation.• Maintain excellent oral hygieneto reduce the risk of infection.

If you have additional questionsplease feel free to call Dr. Kotchat 954-437-4443.

SENIOR SOLUTIONS

By Helen Oxenberg, MSW, ACSW

Dear Solutions: We go out todinner with a couple because myhusband likes the man andadmires him. I’m not a closefriend of his wife but I could havea pleasant evening if it weren’tfor her husband’s really sloppytable manners. He slobbers allover the food eating some withhis fingers and worse, I won’t gointo details. My husband says itsnot important because he’s areally smart and interesting manand I should just ignore hismanners or lack of them andinsists that we go with themsince dinner is the only conven-ient time for us to get togetherand we keep arguing about this.Outside of an untimely death –that man’s or mine – is there anysolution you could suggest?

-Disgusted-

Dear Disgusted: Well you real-ly do see this as a grave problem.An untimely death of his, yoursor your marriage should not benecessary. Evidently to this manthe food seems more important

than the company and to yourhusband the company is moreimportant than the food.Suggest to your husband that hesee this man separately, just thetwo of them. If that’s not possi-ble could you invite anothercompatible couple to join you? Ifso, just make sure you’re notseated next to or across from Mr.Manners.

Dear Solutions: I have a cer-tain kind of humor which mywoman friend calls “little digs” ather. She thinks when I kidaround about something she’sdone or not done that it’s a dig.How can I convince her thatthey’re just little jokes? I wantthis relationship to continue.

-Paul-

Dear Paul: Too many “littledigs” and you’ve dug the gravewhere the relationship will beburied! What you call jokes areprobably hostile remarks andcriticism which you try to coverover with humor. When you dothat the other person can’tanswer because you deny what’sreally being said. If you havecriticisms say them openly andhonestly before the relationshipbecomes terminal and you reallyhave to bury it.

Dear Solutions: Because of abad fight my sister-in-law and Ihad years ago we didn’t talk toeach other. Finally I was con-vinced to forgive and forget eventhough I was the wronged party.I spoke to her and we went over

what happened and I forgave herfor her insulting behavior. Thething is she acts now as if noth-ing ever happened and she does-n’t acknowledge at all that I waswilling to forgive and forget.Shouldn’t she?

-Bess-

Dear Bess: Evidently you’reonly willing to forgive and forgetif she never forgets that you for-gave! You’re not being sincere.You want her to eat humble pieand be ever grateful to you.That’s not forgiving and it’s cer-tainly not forgetting. You’vecome this far now let go. Put thepast to rest and turn thatresentful energy into positiveenergy for the future.

Dear Solutions: Some friendsand I were invited to a babyshower for another friend’sgranddaughter. We all gave agift. Now the word has gone outthat she found out she’s havingtwins. I brought some clothingfor one. Do I have to now give asecond shower gift for the twin?

-Nan-

Dear Nan; Evidently the show-er was given before anyone knewit would turn into a downpour –a happy one. Wait for the babiesto be born and then either add towhat you gave or give a differentgift for two.

WARNING TO SENIORSABOUT SCAMS

By Ruth Wiesenfeld

I want to tell you about a phonecall I recently received. A man’svoice came on, “Hi, Grandma.How are you?” I was trying to fig-ure out which of my two adult,married grandsons this was, but Ihesitated and said, “You musthave a cold, you sound different.”He said, “Yeah, Grandma, I dohave a cold.” Then I asked, “Howis everyone?” I was getting suspi-cious at this point. He was non-committal. Both my grandsonsare very gregarious and it did notsound like either one. Then hesaid, “Grandma, I was in a littleautomobile accident and I am try-ing to settle this without going tomy insurance company. The otherowner lives in China and I have togive him cash. could you help meout by lending me some money?”With that I said, “No! You are notmy grandson” and hung up.

I then called our PoliceDepartment and they said thatthere was nothing they could do. Icalled my two grandsons at work,and, of course, neither had calledme. I called Comcast and theyalso said that they can do nothingabout it. My caller ID indicatedthat the call originated in Nevada.

My friends, be very wary aboutstrange calls and do not trustwhat you may hear!

PROSE & POETRYSUNDAY SICKNESS

I can recallas a young boyI played baseballwith total joyon Saturday,a carefree day.Oh, how I ran with a quicknessthat seemed to be tireless.

Alas! The quicknessbecame a fake illnesson the Sabbath day -“Sunday Sickness,”Mother called it,that fakery bitthat church-going would omit.

She had cures for me to choose,cure I wished she’s lose,remedies like castor oil,and extra toil.

Soon I felt stronger,for such sad optionschanged my notionsabout fakingand pretending any longer.

It was then whenamazingly,mysteriously,Sunday Sicknessturned to quicknessagain. Amen!

A GIFT

Each day is a giftA gift for the giving,In memory of thoseWho are no longer living;A gift we can useAny way that we choose,To sing songs of joyOr hold tight to the blues...Choose well!

Each day is a timeFor cursing or blessing,To live it in sinOr repenting, confessing;A gift we can shareWith whomever we choose,I wan you take careOr you’ll soon pay your dues...Choose well!

SMILE

Instead of sitting in your homeAll alone by the telephonePut on a smile and go out for a

whileTake a ride on the bus where you

will see many of us.One never knows whom they will

meetPerhaps someone to go shopping

with or have something to eat.For this place is hard to beat.Since we live in one of the best

Century VillagesEnjoy some of the privileges.And keep a smile on your face.

THE RISK

I brazenly approached YouAnd got to seeThe laughter in your gorgeous

blue eyesAnd experience that smile of

yoursWhich melts my heart.

You call my name “Janie”Like a caressAnd teach me all about Life.

I know you are leaving me now,But I also knowI’m like a Surfer who gets on his

board and Hangs 10Or a Diver jumping from the High

Board.

I took a giant leap in loving You,Felt the momentary rush,Grabbed Center Stage,And for an interlude,You loved me back!

SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY

It seems like yesterday that I wasgoing on my first date.

And in a hurry so as not to belate.

And it seems like yesterday thatbefore I knew it I was being mar-ried.

And had my wonderful childrenthat I carried.

It seems like yesterday that theywere married

And made me a proud grandma.It seems like yesterdayBut when I look in the mirrorI see it is now today!

CHANGES IN STYLES

The styles today have surely gonewild

Anything goes to put it reallymild.

Actually you can wear whateveryou want

It’s up to you as to what you mayflaunt.

The dresses are high and theblouses are low

It’s a matter of choice as to whatyou will show.

We felt years ago with our conser-vative ways

Just like real ladies but thosewere the days.

Today we could really write a goodbook

About fashions from the past withchanges that we took.

The teenagers really make thestyles as they are

Do some of you think they havegone too far?

Cynthia Miller

NOW IS THE TIME

Don’t long for tomorrow,Just live for today;

Don’t throw a single hour away.

Don’t wish for childhood’sPast happiness;

Today holds the only joy we pos-sess.

Yesterday is gone,Tomorrow is unknown;

Right now is the only time that weown.

TRAPPED BY INSURANCECOMPANIES. . .

Why can’t it be written in a lan-guage I speak?

I’m not asking much, it’s all that Iseek

My policies were written in legal-ize

They are much too complicated,why can’t they please?

They want us to know “all” partsof their plan

They can do it in clear English, Iknow that they can

Are they hiding something Ishould comprehend?

When will this foolishness everend?

Be it car, house or life – I need allit’s true

But, what kind of coverage - whatshould I do?

Should I leave my kids money,would it be good?

So much of what they send me ismisunderstood

I can’t live without coverage on myhouse and car

But, to protect them, how muchand how far?

Why must I go broke and paymore than I earn?

The more I hear, the less I dolearn

I’ve spoken to many, I know that Imust

But where is that agent, the one Ican trust?

The one who will lead me by thehand

And take me towards thePromised Land

Where I can have peace of mind

So many are like me — I’m notone of a kind

But, I will persevere, it will hap-pen one day

Yet, the fact does remain - I stillhave to pay. . .

MISTAKEN IDENTITY

By Earl Rodney

Everyone who saw the 1939movie “Gone With the Wind”remembers the famous Englishstage and film actor, director andproducer Leslie Howard, who por-trayed Scarlett O’Hara’s secretlove interest – Ashley Wilkes. Butfour years later, the Nazis killedLeslie Howard. The Germans hadseveral reasons for wanting to killhim, and demoralize the Britishpeople by losing one of theirfavorite movie actors.

First of all he was Jewish, bornLeslie Howard Steiner. He hadfought against the Germans in theFirst World War, suffering shellshock in 1916. The Nazi Ministerof Public Enlightenment andPropaganda Josef Goebbels,whom he ridiculed in one of hismovies, personally hated him. Hewas also on secret spying mis-sions in neutral Spain andPortugal, and was trying to per-suade the Spanish dictatorFrancisco Franco not to join theAxis Powers. But British PrimeMinister Winston Churchill, in his

book “The Hinge of Fate”, revealedthat the real reason the Naziskilled Leslie Howard was due to acase of Mistaken Identity!

In 1943, Leslie Howard andWinston Churchill were both inthe Iberian Peninsula, and werepreparing to fly back to Englandon June 1, 1943. Churchill, witha clairvoyant sense of a threat tohis safety, cancelled his flight onthat day, and instead flew out thenext night. At that time, neutralPortugal was ruled by a fascistdictator just like Spain was, andPortugal’s capital Lisbon wasoverrun with spies from Britain,Germany, Russia and the UnitedStates. In fact, alluding to thespy-filled movie “Casablanca”,Lisbon was described as “likeCasablanca, but twenty foldmore”. And the most-watchedplace in Lisbon was the airport.

On June 1, 1943 the 50-year oldactor Leslie Howard and his man-ager and accountant, AlfredChenhalls boarded BritishOverseas Airways CorporationFlight 777-A at Lisbon’s PortelaAirport. The Douglas DC-3 wascarrying eleven other passengersand its Dutch crew of four. ButGerman spies were watchingcarefully, and mistook the stout,cigar-smoking Alfred Chenhalls tobe Winston Churchill, and thetall, thin Leslie Howard to be theidentical-looking detective inspec-tor Walter Thompson, Churchill’spersonal bodyguard.

what good will it bring? But theshocking reality to see the joy &happiness of so many that final-ly got there wish come true, theywill enjoy their badly needed “fix”to function. (Who cares if theywill cause errors to others?) Andwhere will the money come fromto buy it as so many are notworking? The next one, the legal-izing of the gay & lesbian mar-riages. Is this progress? Whereare we heading and what societyare we breeding? And what rolemodels are we for our children?Yes, it’s what the older ones arespitting, the younger ones arechewing.

“ATTITUDES”

“The longer I live, themore I realize the impactof ATTITUDE on life.

ATTITUDE, to me, ismore important thanfacts. It is more impor-tant than the past, thaneducation, than money,than circumstances,than failure, than suc-cesses, than what otherpeople think of, say ordo. It is more importantthan appearance, gifted-ness, or skill.

It will make or break acompany... a church... ahome. The remarkablething is we have a choiceevery day regarding theATTITUDE we willembrace for that day.

We cannot change ourpast... We cannot changethe fact that people willact in a certain way. Wecannot change theinevitable. The only thingwe can do is play on theone thing we have, andthat is our ATTITUDE.

I am convinced that lifeis 10% what happens tome and 90% how I reactto it... And so it is withyou... We are in charge ofour ATTITUDES.”


PROSE & POETRYDOING THE RIGHT THING

By May Braidman

Doing the right thing seems likean easy principle to follow, but itcan be difficult to do in the courseof our everyday lives. Do we alwayswait at a four-way stop sign inter-section to let the car that arrivedfirst go first? Do we hold the eleva-tor door open when we see a neigh-bor approaching to ride up withus? Do we greet the cashier andthe bag boy at the grocery storewith a smile and ask how they are?

We do have examples from thepast who can inspire us to do theright thing if we look back at theiractions. Abraham did the rightthing when he left his father’shouse because his father prayed toa number of small idols that hekept in their home and Abrahamrealized that praying to idols wasmeaningless.

Moses did the right thing whenhe killed the Egyptian overseerwho was mercilessly beating anelderly Hebrew slave. Lincoln didthe right thing when he issued theproclamation freeing the slaves inthe United States against theadvice and without the support ofthe members of his administration.

The writings titles “Ethics of theFathers” contain these words: “If I am not for myself, who will be? IfI am for myself alone, what am I?”I believe this tells us to take care ofourselves so that we can be strongenough to take care of others whomay need our help. Perhaps thesewords, written so many centuriesago, can help us follow the princi-ple of doing the right thing.

TENNIS ANYONE?

By Margaret Lipthay

In my youth, I played tennis,sporadically. Sporadically, but notespecially well, but it did not mat-ter that much, because my class-mates at Cooper Union, with whomI played , did not really play muchbetter, so we were evenly matched.One day, I had a stroke of reallybad luck. While we were walkingaway from the court, I was playingaround with my racket and acci-dently dropped it. As it landed onthe stringed part, it unfortunatelyhad a lot of bounce and came backup to me full force and the handlehit one of my front teeth leaving adeep tooth mark on the leather endof the handle. It hurt like hell, butdid not break the tooth. I thought Ihad lucked out, but I was wrong!In about a week's time, the toothstopped hurting, but alas, it wasturning brown and got brownerwith the passage of time. It did notenhance my appearance one bit!

After I was married, my husbandstarted obsessing about my brownfront tooth. I wasn't crazy about itmyself, but thought I could livewith it. He, however, would not letgo of the idea that I should dosomething about it. So I visited myfriendly neighborhood dentist. Hesaid, "Uh huh, the nerve is dead, itwill have to be taken out. I canthen bleach the tooth for you, itshould turn white again" . So Iagreed , and after the procedure,my tooth looked really good, just

like before the mishap. I had beenreally happy how my teeth hadturned out after the braces wereremoved. Before braces, my upperfront teeth had grown straight outinstead of down to meet the lowerteeth. A great moment in my lifeoccurred at about age 14, when Icould finally get my lower teeth infront of the uppers, as they nowgrew downward, like normal peo-ples'. So I went to the movies withmy new lovely again teeth, satthrough the show, and came outto find that the bleach hadstopped working and the toothwas once again, brown!

Again, my husband started upabout the tooth, and I finallyagreed to have a cap put on it. Thedentist filed down the tooth andapplied a cap. It looked great, butcaps don't last very long, and inabout two years it broke and Ineeded a new one. This went onfor quite a few years, I don'tremember how many, and finallymy dentist said, "There's a newsubstance now being used forcapping teeth, I can guaranteethat this one will not break!""Great," I said, "Finally a solution

After a few years, my husbandbecame ill, and could no longerkeep up with the yard work, so Iwas helping him with it. Mowingthe lawn was especially difficultfor him so I did that, but I couldnot keep the mower running andwas unable to restart it, so he hadto do that. One time, I was lookingover his shoulder to see how hedid it, so that I would be able to dothat myself in the future.Apparently, I was standing a bittoo close, because as he waspulling the string, he suddenlyscreamed, "You bit my elbow!" Iyelled right back at him, "You hitme with your elbow and broke mytooth!" But the dentist had beenright, the cap did not break. Itwas the remains of the tooth itselfthat broke. The cap itself held upvery nicely and remained intact!

THIS IS THE MOMENT

Did you ever dream of momentswhen

Tales of our lives are heard overagain

If you would enjoy a story or twoPerhaps more that fascinate youAbout persons and pets that bring

to mindWarm feelings as real as any you’ll

find

Of planes, ships and river boatcrews

Sailors and soldiers whoseexploits make news

Of wars first and second and pos-sibly three

Should tyrants and terrorists withus disagree

Imagine those you unceasinglylove

Their blessings like manna rainfrom above

characters parade acrossmoments of time

Express dreams and fantasies inprose or rhyme

What unkept promise what for-lorn hope

Disguise moods of despair; don’tmope

Concealing by poetry and ampli-fied laughter

Injured memories of remorse andslaughter

Shrug off dismay, drown disap-pointment

Listen not to wailings of woe andlament

Let them plunge in the bottom ofthe seas

As turtles and whatever monstersyou please

Rise with the mermaid, float thruthe air

Land on a planet, not for longdespair

Release creativity, let it leap fromthe pages

Explosive sometimes at others instages

Let thoughts like Disney’s magicsoar

Species endangered make yourlines roar

Recall life’s journey so fulsomeand free

Nature’s picnics and outings withone’s family

Anniversaries celebrated of mar-riage and birth

Christmases, Thanksgivings, highspirit and mirth

If chronicles foretell what des-tinies beckon

With words we can comfort eachother, I reckon

Aren’t numbers of sychophontsdwelling inside

Like phantoms but none calledJekyll or Hyde

Histories and mysteries mostmust be true

Regardless how crafted they, I’llentertain you..

Solace, you look for, precursor ofheaven

This is the moment, Mondaysfrom ten to eleven.

• Avian Botulism (caused by artificial feed-ing) kills entire waterfowl populations andhospitalizes people.

• Artificially fed ducks emit a parasite caus-ing a condition in humans calledSwimmer’s Itch.

3. Ducks defecate at the site of scattered foodor bread, bacteria in feces creates muchhigher risks for illness or disease.

The History of the HolidaySt. Patrick's Day is cele-

brated on March 17, his reli-gious feast day and theanniversary of his death inthe fifth century. The Irishhave observed this day as areligious holiday for over athousand years.

On St. Patrick's Day,which falls during theChristian season of Lent,Irish families would tradi-tionally attend church in themorning and celebrate inthe afternoon. Lenten prohi-bitions against the con-sumption of meat werewaived and people woulddance, drink, and feast—onthe traditional meal ofIrish bacon and cabbage.

The First ParadeThe first St. Patrick's

Day parade took placenot in Ireland, but inthe United States. Irishsoldiers serving in theEnglish military marched

through New York City onMarch 17, 1762. Along withtheir music, the paradehelped the soldiers to recon-nect with their Irish roots,as well as fellow Irishmenserving in the English army.

Over the next thirty-fiveyears, Irish patriotismamong American immi-grants flourished, prompt-ing the rise of so-called"Irish Aid" societies, like theFriendly Sons of SaintPatrick and the HibernianSociety. Each group wouldhold annual parades featur-ing bagpipes (which actuallyfirst became popular in theScottish and British armies)and drums.

In 1848, several New YorkIrish aid societies decided to

unite their parades to formone New York City St.Patrick's Day Parade. Today,that parade is the world 'soldest civilian parade andthe largest in the UnitedStates, with over 150,000participants.

Each year, nearly threemillion people line the one-and-a-half mile paraderoute to watch the proces-sion, which takes more thanfive hours. Boston, Chicago,Philadelphia, and Savannahalso celebrate the day withparades including between10,000 to 20,000 partici-

pants.

No Irish Need ApplyUp until the mid-nine-

teenth century, most Irishimmigrants in America weremembers of the Protestantmiddle class. When theGreat Potato Famine hitIreland in 1845, close to amillion poor, uneducated,Catholic Irish began to pourinto America to escape star-vation. Despised for theirreligious beliefs and funnyaccents by the AmericanProtestant majority, theimmigrants had troublefinding even menial jobs.When Irish Americans in thecountry's cities took to thestreets on St. Patrick's Dayto celebrate their heritage,newspapers portrayed themin cartoons as drunk, vio-

lent monkeys.However, the Irish soon

began to realize that theirgreat numbers endowedthem with a political powerthat had yet to be exploited.They started to organize,and their voting block,known as the "greenmachine," became animportant swing vote forpolitical hopefuls. Suddenly,annual St. Patrick's Dayparades became a show ofstrength for Irish Ameri-cans, as well as a must-attend event for a slew ofpolitical candidates. In1948, President Trumanattended New York City 'sSt. Patrick's Day parade, aproud moment for the manyIrish whose ancestors hadto fight stereotypes andracial prejudice to findacceptance in America.

Wearing of the Green GoesGlobal

Today, St. Patrick's Day iscelebrated by people of allbackgrounds in the UnitedStates, Canada, and Austra-lia. Although North Americais home to the largest pro-ductions, St. Patrick's Dayhas been celebrated in otherlocations far from Ireland,including Japan, Singapore,and Russia.

In modern-day Ireland, St.Patrick's Day has tradition-ally been a religious occa-sion. In fact, up until the1970s, Irish laws mandatedthat pubs be closed onMarch 17. Beginning in1995, however, the Irishgovernment began a nation-

al campaign to use St.Patrick's Day as an opportu-nity to drive tourism andshowcase Ireland to the restof the world. Last year, closeto one million people tookpart in Ireland 's St.Patrick's Festival in Dublin,a multi-day celebration fea-turing parades, concerts,outdoor theater produc-tions, and fireworks shows.

The Chicago RiverChicago is also famous for

a somewhat peculiar annualevent: dyeing the ChicagoRiver green. The traditionstarted in 1962, when citypollution-control workersused dyes to trace illegalsewage discharges and real-ized that the green dyemight provide a unique wayto celebrate the holiday.That year, they released 100pounds of green vegetabledye into the river—enoughto keep it green for a week!

Today, in order to mini-mize environmental dam-age, only forty pounds of dyeare used, making the rivergreen for only several hours.Although Chicago historiansclaim their city 's idea for ariver of green was original,some Savannah nativesbelieve the idea originated intheir town.

They point out that 1961,Savannah mayor TomWoolley had plans for agreen river, but due to roughwater on March 17, theexperiment didn't work andSavannah never attemptedto dye its river again.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS• Instead of throwing away asponge that has a stale odor, sim-ply toss it in the dishwasher andwash it with the next load of dish-es. it will come out clean andfresh smelling and will kill anybacteria in the sponge, so it’s agood idea to toss your spongesinto the dishwasher often.

• Cottage cheese will remain fresh-er longer if you store it upsidedown in the refrigerator. This slowsthe effects of oxidation.

• Brown sugar will not harden ifstored in the freezer.

• To keep milk past it’s expirationdate add salt. A pinch of salt in agallon will do it. The salt slowsthe rate of bacteria growth.

• Potato chip bag open again andthey’re all stale and yucky? Popthem in the microwave for 30 to60 seconds, let stand for two min-utes and they’ll be crispy again.

• Ice cream container sealed in aplastic bag will stop ice crystalsfrom forming when it is in thefreezer.

• A teaspoonful of cold wateradded to the white of an egg caus-es it to whip more quickly whileincreasing the quantity.

• What should you do with fruitwith mold? Throw it away ratherthan simply cutting off the moldsince mold on fruit goes muchdeeper than what appears on thefruit.

• Don’t discard the tough ends ofbroccoli stalks. Use them formaking soups.


AROUND TOWN • Do not drive through unfamiliar neighborhoods or on

dark streets. If you are lost, drive to the nearest welllit, public place and ask for directions.

• Have your car keys in hand before approaching yourvehicle. Place a whistle on your key chain for emer-gency use. Check the back seat of your car beforeentering. Always lock your car doors when driving.

• Vary your route and schedule when conducting per-sonal business or shopping. Bring a friend.

• Lock your packages and valuables in your trunk .

AT HOME• Work with your bank to have your social securitychecks or other regular income direct deposited intoyour banking account. Criminals know when socialsecurity checks arrive in the mail.

• Park your car in well-lit areas. Report broken ornonworking street lights.

YOU THINK MARCH; I THINK APRIL 1

By Jacky Jeter

March was a month of contem-plation for my sister and myself.We had to think of a supreme jokefor April 1 - April Fool's Day. Itwas a matter of pride. Our Fatherloved pranks and wasn't abovetrying to catch us unawares. Hisjokes were notorious (althoughalways kind) and April Fool's Dayand Dad were made for eachother.

Dad was good-natured anddelighted in playing tricks. Whenwe were very young, Dad would'steal' our noses' from my sisterand me.

"Look," he'd say, holding histhumb between his fingers, "I'vegot your nose." Doubtfully we'drub our noses to be certain theywere still there.

He had magic tricks, too. Onefavorite was to pull nickels fromour ears. Of course, since it wasour ears that held the nickels, itwas only correct and proper thatwe should retain those nickels.As we grew older, Dad's jokesbecame more sophisticated butstill kind. He'd buy fake ice cubeswith bugs in them and slip theminto our drinks. A small plasticworm might appear in our salad.

"My birthday is April Fool'sDay," Dad said. "I don't think youcan out trick a trickster." Hisbirthday really wasn't until lateApril, but Dad maintained onecould adopt a birthday.

We felt a challenge had beenissued. Toward the middle ofMarch, my sister and I discardedone idea after another as we triedto think up some plot that wouldtrick the trickster. When we werevery young, we tried the spider onthe collar and graduated toswitching sugar and salt on AprilFool's Day. These we deemedwere childish and immature as weentered our teens. We left him an'urgent message from Mr. Wolff,who wants you to return his call.'Naturally, we listed the telephonenumber of nearby Brookfield Zoo.So the last several weeks of Marchbecame ones of concentration formy sister and me. We had to topthe tricks that Dad was able toplay. We felt our high school rep-utation depended on outwittinghim.

One week in late March my sis-ter announced, "I've got it! Thisyear I'm going to get Dad! I'vethought of the ultimate, creativejoke."

"What? Tell me.""Nope," my sister responded.

"This is a one-woman job, and I'mthe woman."

This made me angry. There wasno reason why we couldn't collab-orate in this common goal.

"No way," my sister said. "Ifsomeone gets in trouble over this,it might as well be me."

March 31 arrived. In the weesmall hours of the morning, Iheard my sister get out of bed.Probably making a trip to thewashroom, I thought. The clocksaid 3 a.m. I'd forgotten that themorning would bring April Fool'sDay. I fell back to sleep.

The house was awakened wellbefore 6 a.m. Dad was shouting.

Mother was shushing. "What'sthe matter? What's the matter?"

"I don't know. Turn on thedamn light!" Dad hollered.

My sister held her hand over hermouth, stifling her laughter.

Now I must set this scene. Dadhad gone to the washroom in thedark. He had not turned on thelight. He lifted the seat and usedthe toilet in the dark.

He had urinated on the floor!"April Fool!" my sister shouted,

unable to contain her laughterany longer. "Gotcha!"

She had taken plastic see-through wrap and covered the toi-let bowl. Because it was dark,Dad, of course, hadn't noticed.He stood barefoot in his urine.

It was a story that Dad told onhimself for years. Did I say thatDad was good-natured and loveda joke?

He even mopped the floor.

HOOPS HOKUM

By Jack Gallagher

In my student years I playedbasketball in South Greensburg,Pennsylvania, a little town with along sports tradition. My closestteammate, Chuck Baker, and Iwould practice all year to keepthat tradition alive - to such anextent that in the summermonths he would sometimescome by my home in the earlymorning when everyone was stillasleep, go up the stairs to theattic, where I slept, and roust meout of bed so that we could go tothe playground and shoot somehoops.

I would jump out of bed almostjoyously - as eager as Chuck to goto the outdoor basketball court. Icannot recall whether I ate break-fast. If I did, I’m sure I had nothingmore than a fast bowl of cerealbefore we headed for that almostsacred court. In those youthfuland energetic days we would be soanxious to get on with our basket-ball that unimportant actions suchas eating had to be relegated tosecond place in our list of priori-ties. Once we moved onto thecourt, we also forgot about lunchand sometimes played on to night-fall. Throughout the day other boyswould join us, but few would staymore than an hour or so. Our ded-ication paid off, and our team wontwo consecutive county champi-onships. Other players, of course,made vital contributions to theteam’s success; but no one workedharder than we did. The immediatedividend may have been thosechampionships, but the more sig-nificant result was the birth of aclose friendship that endures eventoday.

As I look back at those days ofbasketball, I like to recall thetricky playground maneuver thatChuck and I often employed dur-ing the regular season - an actionprobably as old as Dr. Naismith’sfirst peach baskets. Here’s how itworked. Whenever the refereewould award us the ball under-neath the scoring basket, I wouldreceive the ball from him andstand there out of bounds withthe ball in hand and immediately

nod in Chuck’s direction. He knewexactly what I meant.

“Jack,” he would shout so thatour opponents could hear him,“let me throw the ball in.”

Then he would move toward me,and I would toss him the ball. It’shard to believe, but the players onthe opposing team would relaxand wait for him to step out ofbounds to throw the ball backinto play. Instead he would jumpand make a lay-up, thus scoringtwo points for us. After all, itdidn’t matter what Chuck and Ihad said, the ball was in play oncethe referee had given it to me. Ouropponents had simply been takendown the old garden path!

And two playground hoopsterswere smiling as they ran back toassume their positions ondefense!

North’s 5♥ is a general slamtry, asking South to bid the slamif he likes his hand. South, richin controls and with goodtrumps, is delighted to accept.

If trumps are 4-1,declarer needs dia-monds 3-3. Howshould declarer playto cater to both thebad and the normaltrump break?

Win the lead in hand with the ♥K and cash the♥A, preserving dummy’s queen in case trumpsare 4-1. In that case, you will play the ♦A and ♦K,ruff a diamond in hand, enter dummy with the

♥Q and discard losers on the dia-mond suit. If the defender with themaster trump ruffs a diamond win-ner, dummy will have a trumpremaining to control the rest of theplay. If that defender does not ruffin, he will take only the thirteenthtrick.

If both opponents follow the ♥A and ♥K, drawthe last trump and give up a diamond, concedinga trick you would not have to lose if diamondswere 3-3. You can win any return, play the ♦Aand ♦K and ruff a diamond, and return to dummyby ruffing a black suit. This line succeeds when-ever diamonds are no worse than 4-2.W N E S

AGE IS JUST A NUMBER

We all get heavier as we get

older because there’s a lot more

information in our heads. So I’m

not fat, I’m just really

intelligent and my head couldn’t

That’s my story and I’m

sticking to it!


into view, and there was Mace inthe distance munching away asusual on the lawn. When the dogsaw his master, he came running,tail wagging, telling the old manhow glad he was to see him.Kneeling beside the hound, theman began to pet him, andthrough tear-filled eyes told thedog that there would be no sup-per tonight and no food for tomor-row. What’s more, without moneyto buy a new wrench, he had noidea what the future held. It wasthe loneliest, most helpless feel-ing he ever had!

Then he caught a glimpse ofsomething shining in the grass.As the old man went over to seewhat this piece of shining materi-al was, his despair turned into aninstant joy! It was the wrench!The old man had dropped it onhis way out that morning, and itwould have been lost forever hadMace not been eating fartheraway from the house than heusually did! The old man grabbedthe dog, gave him a hug thatalmost suffocated him, and raninto the house. Reaching for astub of pencil and the only pieceof paper he had, he wrote a mov-ing tribute to his canine compan-ion.

Few people have every heardthese words... until now, that is.One man who did happen to readthem changed them a bit and hashis name recorded in music his-tory. The old man never did getthe credit he deserved. But nowyou are privileged to read theopening line of his original poem,which began: “ A grazing Mace,how sweet the hound, that saveda wrench for me.”

THE PARKING SPACE

Moishe is driving in Jerusalem.He’s late for a meeting, he’s look-ing for a parking place, and can’tfind one.

In desperation, he turns towardheaven and says, “Lord, if youfind me a parking place, I promisethat I’ll eat only kosher, respectShabbos, and all the holidays.”

Miraculously, a place opens upjust in front of him. He turns hisface up to heaven and says,“Never mind, I just found one!”

So, Ida figured, what the heck,and kissed the frog. Immediatelythe frog turned into an absolute-ly gorgeous, sexy, young hand-some prince. The prince thenreturned Ida’s kiss.

Suddenly Ida felt herself trans-forming from his kiss. Now canyou guess what Ida turned into?Come on, guess!

A HOUND DOG NAMED MACE

An old man lived with hishound dog, Mace, in a run-downshack on the outskirts of town.He had no family and only a fewmeager possessions: a table andchair, a bed, a bag of hand tools,and his dog. He used the tools todo odd jobs in town, for which heusually would be paid enough toget food for the next day.

Mace and his master lived formone day to the next on what littlethese jobs would bring. The dogwas just a normal hound, withone exception: while most dogslike to chew on grass occasional-ly, Mace love it. When the oldman was in town, Mace wouldspend the day in the yard in frontof the house, chewing away onthe lawn.

One bright, sunny day the oldman said goodbye to his dog andheaded into town to work. He hada plumbing repair job in one ofthe homes there that would takehim most of the day and wouldprobably pay enough for food forthe remainder of the week, if hemanaged the money carefully.

He headed for town with aspring in his step and a whistleon his lips. Inside the house andready to start, the old manreached in the bag for his wrench.To his surprise, he didn’t feel it.He dug around again, but theredidn’t seem to be any wrench. Helooked in the bag, then dumpedits contents on the floor, but stillno wrench. Reality set in. Withouta wrench he couldn’t finish thejob,and without the pay he could-n’t even buy food for that night’ssupper, let alone tomorrow. Whenhe finally came to grips with real-ity, he told the lady who hiredhim what the situation was. Whileshe sympathized with his situa-tion, the job needed to be done. Ifthe old man couldn’t do it, shewould have to hire someone else.

The old man packed up histools and headed home, headbowed and shoulders stooped.The whistle was gone and nolonger was there a spring in hisstep. A walk that normally took15 minutes seemed to last forev-er. But finally the old shack came

PEMBROKE SAILORSCLUB

We did not have a meeting inJanuary due to the fact that manyof our members were away. Alarge group of us enjoyed a fabu-lous two week excursion to LosAngeles and Mexico.

We started out in the wee hoursof December 30, when we flew toCalifornia. From the airport. wewere taken to the Holiday InnHotel. The next morning we werein Pasadena to view the finalpreparation of the floats thatwould be in the Rose Parade onJanuary 1. We watched in awe asa variety of seeds, bark, fruits andvegetables, grasses and flowerswere being applied to the floats. Itwas a labor of love by hard work-ing, talented professionals andvolunteers. The results were toobeautiful and amazing for words.

On New Years Eve there was agala dinner at the hotel. At 9:00P.M. we watched the ball drop inNew York, as it was midnight onthe east coast.

The morning of January 1, wewere back in Pasadena for theannual Rose Parade. The weatherwas perfect, and we had very goodseats, so we were able to enjoy thewhole event to the fullest.

We had three more days in L.A.,in which we toured the city andvisited the holocaust museum aswell as the magnificent GettyMuseum.

On January 5 we boarded theCarnival Miracle to enjoy a weekof cruising. The two ports we vis-ited were Cabo San Lucas andPuerto Vallarta. We had a guidedtour in each.

While aboard ship, we all partic-ipated in the various activities ofour choice, and the wonderfulshows in the evenings. As isusual on cruises, there was toomuch good food, so many of usgained a few pounds which we arenow trying to lose.

We all know how hard PhyllisGoodman worked for a whole yearin planning the trip and we great-ly appreciate her efforts. We alsothank hubby Marvin for his sup-port and help whenever needed.It was a perfect way to start thenew year.

MALTA DEFENDER OFCIVILIZATION

By Fran Harrison

Certain events and placesthroughout history influence thecourse of civilization. Malta andwhat happened there was onesuch location that I was fortunateenough to visit.

The history of Malta thatincludes 3 inhabited islandslocated 50 miles south of Sicily isfilled with tales of violence anddisorder. It is a crossroads ofArab and European cultures dat-ing back to the Phoenicians,Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans,and Byzantines. It has ruins thatpredate and attest to these settle-ments. UNESCO calls it “one ofthe most concentrated historicareas in the world. It was con-quered by Napoleon and ruled byBritain until 1964.

Today hundreds of Europeansvisit it yearly for its warm climate,clear blue waters for scuba andsnorkeling and the very, verycheap sunshine. The logical gridsystem of streets designed byMichelangelo’s assistant Laparillemakes getting lost impossible.Stone steps at intersections leadup to delightful vistas and ancienthomes. All the buildings are builtof the grey, yellow, pink limestoneon which the city rests.

The Great Siege of Malta in 1565highlights the struggle betweenChristian and Moslem. TheKnights who were given the territo-ry for their efforts in the Crusadesprevailed against the superiornumbers from the Ottoman Empireand stopped the onslaught of theCrescent against the Cross. It wasconsidered a significant event inpreserving European culture.

The next test between superpowers occurred during WWII.Despite 159 days of constantbombing from German directedItalian planes Malta again pre-vailed. This prevented the Axisfrom getting oil supplies fromNorth Africa and contributing ifnot stopping the onslaught ofGerman invasions.

With no fewer than 4 major for-tifications looming over the steepwalls of Valletta, the main city,you can see what all those van-quishing forces were after; “A welldefended harbor in the middle of abusy sea.”

I spent a week there and didn’thave enough time to see all thehistoric places. From the cata-combs of the Epigones, to theunderground caves where cryp-tographers toiled safe from over-head bombers to the spectacularKnights of St.John palace, it wasa constant view of history. Evenmore intriguing was a trip to themedieval walled city of Medina’snarrow streets. A short ferry rideto the third island Gozo warrant-ed an overnight stay in an ancientinn. From there we visited sever-al churches filled with marble andgold. All donated by the people,poor as they were.

For any lover of history Maltahas it all, from ancients toKnights to war remnants, to sav-ing Civilization again and again.

THE GENERATION GAP

By Evelyn Raphael

Don’t mess with them. If you areover 70 watch out. No jokesplease. I experienced it so I can bethe judge. Here’s what hap-pened...

I was out for the day and wentto a very nice cafeteria for lunch.When the waitress asked me whatI wanted, I said, “Please, please,before I order, I must have a sourpickle, because I am pregnant.

Well her mouth fell open. Andshe gasped. “You’re pregnant?”she said, and ran off to get mypickle.

Then I saw her whisper to herco-workers. All smiles theywalked by me one by one andstared. I was a little uncomfort-able and thought about what theywere thinking. Either I hadAlzheimer’s or was demented. Boyoh boy, you can not joke with theyounger generation.

When the waitress came backwith FIVE pickles, I said, “I hopeyou know I was only joking.” Andwent on to tell her, “When youngpeople are pregnant, they some-times crave strange things theymust have right away.” Shesmiled and said, “That’s okay, Iunderstand.”

Ha. “Excuse me, I think thewagon is waiting outside.” I won-der who’s laughing now.

THE PROMISE OF TOMORROW

By Sylvia Pearlson

Why are school children killingother children? Why is road rageand every other form of rage a rea-son to kill an innocent personnever seen before?

Why does Florida have a new“Hold Your Ground?”

Not too long ago, this law per-mitted a volunteer neighborhoodwatchman to kill a seventeen yearold boy who looked suspicious.The shooter went free.

Why is there a new law that per-mits girls as young as twelveyears of age to purchase over thecounter anti birth pills?

For years, millions of dollarswere spent to teach people thatsmoking causes cancer that leadsto death. Suddenly one becomesaware that the laws made to guar-antee safety, morality and goodhealth has been blown away withthe wind.

It was on a Monday, May 3,1999 that I was very upset overnews I read in the paper. I wrote aletter to the president of theNational Rifle Association.Charleton Heston was the actingpresident at that time.

I addressed it “Charleton MosesHeston” (remembering the part heplayed as Moses). You are so proguns that I thought what a differ-

ent world it would be today if atthe time of Moses, guns had beeninvented and you as Moses couldhave outfitted each Israelite witha gun. Imagine! You could havesmitten all the Egyptians. Therewould be no reason for the tenplagues. The Israelites would havebeen victorious and may neverhave needed to leave Egypt.

No need to wander in the desertfor forty years. No need to learn toeat matzah the unleavened bread,and boring manna from heaven.In fact since they would haveoverpowered the Egyptians, theycould have decided to remain inEgypt.

They would not have been at Mt.Sinai to receive the ten command-ments! Possibly there would notbe a Christian or Jewish religiontoday! The whole course of historycould have been changed just byusing guns.

Why sayeth thou CharletonMoses Heston?

Make this a promise for tomor-row:

Teach morality to the young andold.

Make smoking a crime sinceeveryone suffers.

Outlaw all guns. Aiming toshoot even with a toy gun iswrong.

It is not always easy...to apologize.to begin again.to take advice.to be unselfish.to admit error.to face a sneer.to be charitable.to be considerate.to show appreciation.

It is often difficult...to be broad minded.to forgive and forget.to profit by mistake.to think before you act.to keep out of a rut.to make the best of little.to shoulder deserved blame.to maintain a high standard.to see the silver lining.

BUT IT PAYS!

IT’S NOT ALWAYS EASY -BUT IT PAYS

Crocodiles and alligators eat stones, and the stones remain

inside their stomachs. Scientists think they might do this

to help them dive, or to help grind up their food, or to keep

them from feeling hungry.

• Relieves stress and promotes an overall feeling of relaxation

• For arthritis sufferers massage therapy can greatly assist inpain management and help increase range of motion. It also triggers natural joint lubrication which is extremely important for those suffering from arthritis.

• Enhances the immune system

• Alleviates back pain and tension

• Improves circulation

• Releases endorphins - the body’s natural pain killer

CAN I MOVE A PART OF MYBODY AND LOSE WEIGHT

FROM THAT SPOT?The answer is NO! Everyday,

several times a day, people cometo me patting their bellies and askme what machine takes care ofthat? Sorry to burst your bubble,but no machine takes care ofthat. And the that we're speakingof is fat. Doing exercises that

move a certain part of the bodydoes not necessarily mean thatyou are taking off fat from thatspot. Take crunches for example,when performing a crunch ourskeletal muscle is working, notthe fat that surrounds it. Muscleand fat are two separate things.And you cannot change fat intomuscle or muscle into fat. Thebottom line is we need to watchour diets and do aerobic types ofactivities such as, group exerciseclasses, treadmill, walking, &bicycling. Also remember, howand where we hold on to fat isgenetically predetermined. We donot control where we will carrymost of our weight. Certainly wecan't control this by certain spe-cific movements.

To lose fat we need to take inless than we use. It has alwaysbeen that way and will neverchange. It's a scientific fact. Somake healthy choices when plan-ning your meals. Watch the dairyand red meat, load up on the veg-gies and drink lots of water.

ARE HEART RATE MONITORSACCURATE?

The best possible heart ratemonitor on the market is yourown body. You cannot rely on amonitor to detect how hard yourbody's working. Heart rate moni-toring is a flawed science, so weneed to go by perceived exertion.In other words, how do you feelwhile you are exercising? Youshould feel like it's somewhat dif-ficult but you should not be gasp-ing for breath. The "talk test" canmeasure how intensely you'reexercising depending on whetheryou can talk in full sentences,short phrases, or if you can bare-ly muster a few words. Just makesure that you are not too comfort-able and not too uncomfortable!

NEW SCHEDULEThe shiny, brand new, white buses have arrived. They were put into service

December 1st. New buses, a new contract, has brought about a few changes.

Service to your favorite places will continue, however, the bus number has

changed. So please take note:

We will no longer have a #7 bus. The same route of the #7 will continue with its

replacement #5. Because ridership is low after 8:00 p.m., it has been determined

that between the hours of 8:00 and 11:00 p.m., buses will run on the hour. Drivers

will accommodate all riders in a timely manner if and when overflows occur.

We’ve waited a long time for the buses. We, who have been responsible for obtain-

ing the best service for Century Village, hope you will understand and be patient

with the necessary changes.
