Seniorsalways receive:

By Randy Fischer - Colorado State Representative. After serving 8 years in the Col-orado General Assembly, I com-pleted my final legislative session. Serving the people of Fort Collins’ House District 53 has been the greatest privilege of my life. I am grateful for the opportunity to rep-resent my community in the House of Representatives. In some ways, I regret having to abandon my legislative seat with so much work left undone. Due to term limits, I am prevented from running for another term in the House. Colorado citizens initiated term limits through a constitutional amendment in 1990. The intent was to “assure that the general as-sembly is representative of Colo-rado citizens.” Do term limits really result in better representation and do they serve the best interests of Colo-radans? I agree that term limits

broaden the opportunity for public service to more people. However, I am concerned that the departure of experienced legis-lators only enhances the influence of non-elected paid lobbyists and executive branch bureaucrats for whom there are no term limits. I submit that Colorado citizens need to guard more against the influence of lobbyists and bureau-crats than allowing elected legisla-tors to remain in office. Would I run for another term if I could? I don’t know. Being a legis-lator takes its toll. As I depart, great legislators remain behind and terrif-ic new candidates are stepping up.________________Rep. Randy Fischer will continue his Senior Voice articles until his term expires in January. Email him at [email protected]; phone 215.7898.

LEGISLATION

Estate PlanningEstate PlanningBy Ron Rutz, Attorney

Q: You wrote about how to handle pets in a Will. But what about other things? I have heard contradictory advice.A: If the appropriate language is in the Will, then on a separate sheet of paper, a list can be made leaving specific items of tangible personal property to particular in-dividuals. If the list is handwritten, signed, and dated, it does not need to be notarized, witnessed, or even kept with the Will. Do not attach it to the Will. The list will only work for tan-gible personal property (things) Intangible items such as stocks, bonds, cash, C.D.’s (i.e. pieces of paper with different “ink spots” to which humans impart value) cannot be designated on the list. The list cannot be used for real property. If you wish to designate to someone real estate, or intangible personal property, then such be-

quests need to be in the Will. In the absence of a handwrit-ten list, oral statements, labels on items, or even taking pictures with notations on the back of the photos would not necessarily stand up if challenged in Court. If you are concerned that the list might disappear after you die, leave a copy with your attorney. But be sure that if the list is up-dated, your attorney has the latest version. Finally, remember if you redo your Will, the list made under the old Will’s authority is no longer effective.________________Attorney Ron Rutz will answer questions sent to [email protected].

What you are about to read may be the most important information you’ve ever read. Here is why. Albert Einstein was, quite possibly, the most intelligent person who ever lived. His theories and ideas were so far ahead of his time, that even now, the smartest scientists alive are still

discovering his value. One of his theories published in 1917, worked out the theory of how lasers function. However, it was not until May 16, 1960 (43 years later) that the first actual laser was developed by an American scientist. Since then, scientists and inventors have developed many types of lasers and all kinds of uses for them. They can be used as a scalpel that is so delicate, it can be used on the eyes of human beings. Lasers are used to read price codes at your local supermarkets. And they’re used to play music and video on your CD’s and DVD’s.

But now, there is a new type of laser so effective against human disease and injury that it is rapidly changing the practice of medicine. This is a new type of low-level laser which produces an unfocused light that has been... Registered With The FDA To Be 100% Safe! Low-level lasers use less than one watt of power and they produce what can best be described as a “Healing Light”. Here is a somewhat un-scientific description of how this “Healing Light” can potentially help reverse the damage done by human sickness and disease. As you probably know, our entire bodies are made up of cells. The health of all human cells is based on energy. If your cells don’t receive enough energy, they will weaken and the body will become sick.

For you to be healthy, what your cells need is exactly the right kind and the right amount of energy. Every time you get injured or become sick, the energy flow to your cells is disrupted. Until the proper type and amount of energy is restored, you will remain sick or injured. That’s what a low-level laser device does. It re-energizes the cells in your body with the right kind and proper amount of healing energy. It may surprise you to learn that low level lasers are ... Used By Doctors To Heal Their Patients In The Fastest Way Possible!

Could you guess what kind of doctors use the highest percent of low-level lasers on their patients? It’s doctors involved in sports medicine. Why? The answer is simple. You see, doctors involved in sports medicine often have to get their patients better in the fastest way humanly possible because every day he remains “unhealthy” can cost the sports organization millions of dollars. But here’s something exciting! You don’t actually need to go to a doctor to get laser therapy. If you want to you can buy one of these devices and use it on yourself. The best ones come with simple, easy-to-follow instructions and can be used by almost any person with average intelligence. Perhaps the best low-level lasers in the world have been invented by a doctor named Larry Lytle. He has studied lasers and human health for years, and Dr. Lytle is, without question, one of the most knowledgeable people in the world about low-level lasers... and... how they can be used... To Help Almost Every Health Problem Ever Experienced By A Human Being!

Dr. Lytle believes (as do many other people) low-level laser therapy will become the medicine of the future. If you hold a low-level laser device against the skin of your body and turn it on, you will be able to see the laser light... but... you will not be able to feel it. There probably won’t even be a sensation of warmth. Laser light is as gentle as the kiss of a butterfly. But, from a healing point of view, it is quite possible it is more effective than drugs or surgery. Low-level laser therapy is not just the medicine of the future. For many people who know about it, it is the “medicine” they use now. The problem of trying to explain the healing powers of low-level laser therapy is...

It Works So Well On So Many Different Problems, It Seems Like It Couldn’t Possibly Be True! But it is true! As mentioned earlier, all injury and illness creates an interruption of energy to the cells of the human body. The body will never recover until the proper amount and type of energy is restored to these cells. But once that energy is restored... The Body Can Recover From Almost Anything! With the correct equipment, properly used, low level lasers have been clinically shown to reduce pain, reduce inflammation, increase cellular energy, increase cell permeability (so that the nutrients the cell needs to heal can get into the cell) and even help correct faulty DNA!* What you have just read is a very simplistic (almost childish) explanation of low-level laser therapy, of how it works, and what it can do for you. But this is something that needs to be explained to you much more accurately by a real expert. This is information which just might help relieve you of any disease and might possibly save your life and the life of your loved ones. And best of all, you can ...

Get This Information Absolutely FREE! Dr. Larry Lytle himself has written and compiled a FREE REPORT in which he explains to you exactly how and why low-level laser therapy works. Dr. Lytle will show you some unbelievable “before” and “after” pictures of people who have benefitted by this amazing new therapy. For some people, a free report and information like this can mark the beginning of an entirely new life... pain-free and full of energy. For others, it can make the difference of living a healthy life compared to a low-energy life of sickness and disease. And, for those who live with enormous pain every day ... this free report could truly guide them to a miracle!

By Bill Lambdin The Durango-Silverton narrow gauge railroad is one of the histor-ic treasures of Colorado. It allows

us to travel back in time and view the early West almost as pioneers knew it. Begun in l88l, the railroad fol-lows the same route today it did after a grizzled miner named Charlie Baker hit paydirt and yelled, “There’s silver by the ton!” That was how some said the town of Silverton began in l874. Durango was established in l880 by the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad as a depot for trains carrying ore from Silverton and other mountain towns. The rich ore deposits were so vast that mining continued in Silverton for over a century, until l99l when the Sunnyside Mine finally closed.

But Silverton and Durango are still boom towns, thanks to the train that every year carries thousands of tourists. Both towns have many buildings built in the

l800s and an aura of history that delights visitors. Today the railroad is interna-tionally known, but several times in the l900s it was nearly aban-doned. The railroad company considered closing it after mining began to diminish, and Durango’s citizens had to fight hard to keep it open. Railroad buffs and tourists be-gan discovering it in the l960s. In l98l a wealthy businessman and train enthusiast from Florida, Charles E. Bradshaw, bought the rail line and made it one of the most popular historical attractions in the West. The train follows the Animas

River, one of the few free-flow-ing rivers in the western United States. Spanish explorers in the l600s named it the Rio de las Animas, the River of Lost Souls,

because they said a group of ex-plorers mysteriously disappeared along its banks. Smoke from the train engine rises through long, beautiful val-leys where Indians hunted deer and buffalo for centuries. You smell the cinders and smoke, and you feel the train swaying gently on rails laid long ago by tough, hard men trying to conquer a con-tinent. Here the lonesome whistle of a steam engine that opened the West still echoes in the mountains. ________________COVER PICTURE: Courtesy of the Durango-Silverton Rail-road.

(Editor’s Note: In 1866 traveler Bayard Taylor was in Greeley and elsewhere, and made these

observations.) A considerable number of wag-ons bring settlers to the territory. One meets every day the same variety of characters: The lazy, shiftless emigrant always trying new countries and prospering in none. The keen, enterprising emigrant who would do well any-where and will rise rapidly here. The shabby-genteel adventurer.The white wagon covers of some of these parties contribute to the popular literature of the plains. Many of them are inscribed with the emigrant’s name, home and destination, accompanied with a sentiment like “Piles Peak or Bust.” The most curious wagon cover was that which met our eyes on crossing the Platte River [near Greeley]: “Hell-Roar-ing Bill from Bitter Creek!” I hazard nothing in predicting Colorado will soon be recognized as our Switzerland. The enervat-

ed, ignorant and wealthy will all come hither in future summers for health, rest and recreation. Where Kit Carson chased Arapahos and Fremont’s men ate mule meat, there will be drawling dandies, maidens both fast and slow, ungrammatical mammas and the heaviest of fathers. The better sort of people will come first, nor be scared away af-terward by the rush of the unap-preciating. We shall have alpine clubs, intelligent guides, good roads and access to a thousand wonders.It will be a national blessing when this region is opened to general travel. That time is not too distant. Before the close of 1868, Denver will only be four days from New York [by train]. I am glad I have come now while there are still buffalo and danger of Indians on the plains, camp fires to build in the moun-tains, and landscapes to enjoy which have never yet been de-scribed

By Bill Lambdin Fort Collins writer-photogra-pher Malcom McNeill recently presented a program for the local Pioneer Association titled “The Automobile Comes to Fort Col-lins” about early cars in town. The first car was a 1902 Oldsmobile, “which could go from Fort Collins to Berthoud in three hours,” said McNeill. It had a three horsepower gasoline mo-tor that was smaller than today’s lawn mower engine, and it “ran in fits and starts,” said its owner. Within a very few years, better quality cars were available, like a 15 horsepower Pierce Arrow that a Fort Collins businessman bought for $2,500 ($70, 000 in today’s money). Tires were $40 each and did not last long. The biggest problems for owners and the cause of most accidents were dogs chasing cars, said McNeill. Henry Ford knew $2,500 was too expensive for most people; so he set out to make an afford-able car. His Model T sold for $260 in 1913, and the car busi-ness boomed throughout Amer-ica. Ford also designed the first steering wheel on the left instead of the right side for better vision for the driver in oncoming traffic, said McNeill. Early cars had no gasoline gauges. One Fort Collins man lighted a match to check his fuel level—a mistake he didn’t make again. The best cars for climbing mountains were the powerful

Stanley Steamers, which were sold until 1920. Inventor F.O. Stanley built the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park and lived there for years. He had a fleet of his Steamers that brought guests to Estes Park in the summer months. And the first car able to make the trip to Estes over a steep, rough wagon trail was a Steamer. One-third of the early cars sold were electric, said McNeill. They went 40 miles on a charge and

were the most popular vehicles with women. McNeill has co-authored sev-eral local history books that are available at the Old Firehouse Bookstore, 484.7898. His latest is “The Automobile Comes to Fort Collins.” The Pioneer Association presents free history programs several times a year. For infor-mation, call 223.6817 or email [email protected]. Malcom McNeill.

The 1913 Model T Ford helped make cars affordable.

Insurance CostsBy Jan Hancock - Kaiser Health News

With the results sure to affect politics as well as pocketbooks, health insurers are already pre-paring to raise rates next year for plans issued under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). But their calculation about how much depends on their ability to predict how newly enrolled cus-tomers—for whom little is known regarding health status and medi-cal needs—will affect 2015 costs. At stake are price increases that buyers on the federal exchange, healthcare.gov, and other online marketplaces will encounter when they get renewal notices later this year. Forecasting success or fail-ure could also affect whether in-surers stay on the exchanges, a key pillar of the health overhaul. The official 2014 enrollment period closed at the end of March for most consumers. But carriers selling medical plans on health-care.gov have to file initial 2015

rate requests with federal regu-lators in late May or June even though they have little idea about the health and potential costs of their newly enrolled members. WellPoint, the biggest player in the online exchanges, is already talking about double-digit rate hikes for 2015. Such increases would give ammunition to Re-publican critics of Obamacare be-fore the November elections.Analysts’ expectations vary, but nobody is predicting decreases. “We’ll see rate increases in the marketplaces, but I think it’s any-one’s guess” about what the pre-cise changes will be, said Sabrina Corlette, project director at the Georgetown University Center on Health Insurance Reforms. “It’s like nailing Jell-O to a wall.”________________Kaiser Health News is not affili-ated with Kaiser Permanente in-surance.

Your Credit Ruined?By Bill Lambdin

Many people don’t know that taking much time to pay a hospi-tal or doctor bill could ruin their credit rating; but it can, said New York Times researcher Elizabeth Rosenthal. Hospital bills often require pa-tients to make numerous phone calls or write letters to a provid-er or insurance company to sort things out, determine which test or service you were charged for, if a wrong computer code caused an error, and the many other con-fusions that accompany medical bills. Hospitals nowadays often send you a bill before they send it to your insurance company. You have to determine that or you’ll pay a lot more than you should. We don’t know when health providers turn accounts over to a collection company, as many do

nowadays. The providers aren’t required to tell you that. And the collection company might report it to a credit agen-cy. Ding! There goes your credit rating. And of course the credit agency is not required to tell you. Once it happens, and IF you find out, you’re in for a long fight to change a bad credit rating—even if you have paid the bill and the mark on your credit rating is in error. Why is such nonsense al-lowed? Because credit agencies spend millions lobbying congress to prevent changes. A bill called the Medical Debt Relief Act has been kicked around for years, but it cannot get through congress. Meanwhile medical bills are collection companies biggest money makers, said Rosenthal.

SOCIAL SECURITY

By Lauren Eitel If your spouse does not earn an income or earns less than you, your spouse (including a same-sex spouse) may be entitled to Social Security spouses’ benefits based on your record. In many cases, one spouse may have earned significantly more than the other, may have worked longer, stayed home with children, cared for elderly family members, or just managed the household.Your spouse can apply for benefits the same way you apply for ben-efits. He or she can apply for re-duced benefits as early as age 62, or for 100% of the full retirement benefits at full retirement age. The benefit amount your spouse can receive at full retirement age can be as much as one half of your full benefit. If your spouse opts for early retirement, the benefit may be as little as a third of your

full benefit. Benefits paid to your spouse do not decrease your benefit. If you have already reached full retirement age but continue to work, you can apply for retire-ment benefits and request to have the payments suspended until as late as age 70. This would let you earn delayed retirement credits that will mean higher payments later, but still would allow your spouse to receive a spouse’s ben-efit. People can also apply for spouse benefits based on the earn-ings record of an ex-spouse or deceased spouse if married for at least 10 years.________________Lauren Eitel is Assistant District Manager of the Greeley Social Security Office.

STOP SUFFERING! (Editor’s Note: Wyoming histo-rian Margaret Laybourn wrote

this story years ago.) Early automobile travel was an exciting adventure fraught with flat tires, break-downs, running out of gas and getting lost. The American Automobile Blue Book was a standard touring guide that was essential for driv-ers. A copy of the 1924 Blue Book contained directions for roadways plus information about state laws, customs regulations, and some city maps. The information for driving through Rocky Mountain Nation-al Park was especially enlight-ening. Speed limits in the park were 20 mph. When teams, saddle horses or pack trains approached, the automobile had to take the outer edge of the roadway regard-less of the direction it was going. “Teams have the right-of-way” said the book, “and autos shall be backed or otherwise handled so as to enable the teams to pass with safety.” Drivers were directed to honk when approaching curves and be-fore meeting or passing other au-tomobiles, animals or pedestrians. Directions from Cheyenne to Ft. Collins in the 1924 edition listed the mileage at 46 miles of gravel road “running over open rolling prairie with views of snow-covered peaks of the gi-gantic Rocky Mountain range in view.” Nearing Ft. Collins, the guide

described “highly cultivated, very productive farmland.” The speed limit was 30 mph. Included in the book were ad-vertisements for filling stations, garages and hotels. In Cheyenne, the Dildine Garage Company ad-vertised “storage, supplies, tire re-pairing and mechanical service.” Although maligned in story and song, “back-seat drivers” must have been valuable at times .

By Lois Hall Belle Starr was an outlaw in the late 1800s, though her back-ground should have made her the belle of the ball. Born in 1848 into a respectable Missouri family, Maybelle Shir-ley Starr attended a private school for young ladies, played piano, and received a classical educa-tion. Her father, John Shirley, was a business man who helped found the school she attended. While growing up in Missouri, Belle knew of Jesse James and other outlaws with whom she later became associated after her marriage in 1866 to her childhood sweetheart, Jim Reed. Reed was a restless young man who began farming in Texas but soon fell in with a group of out-laws called the Starr clan. Jim was killed in 1874, leaving Belle with two small children. She ac-quired the Starr name after mar-rying Sam Starr. She liked to dress fashionably, usually wearing a black velvet riding habit and plumed hat while riding side saddle, as well-bred ladies did. In 1883 she was arrested for horse theft and served nine months in jail. She avoided ar-rests for several other crimes committed mainly in the region that became Oklahoma. Her husband Sam Starr was killed in a shoot-out, and she mar-ried one of his relatives who was 15 years younger than she. By 1889 she was 40 years old and at-tempting to end her outlaw life by operating a farm she owned.

But it ended differently than she wanted. Two days before her 41st birthday, she was ambushed and shot to death while riding back from a neighbor’s house near Eufaula, Oklahoma. No one ever knew who shot her. Few people had heard of Belle during her lifetime, but she be-came famous after her death through a dime novel titled “Belle Starr, the Bandit Queen or the Fe-male Jesse James” published in 1889. As with most novels and mov-ies made about her, Belle’s life

story was exaggerated and dis-torted. She was not a beautiful outlaw “queen” who deserved a statue of her that was erected in Woolaroc, Oklahoma. Her son

Eddie was killed in a saloon. Her daughter Rosie owned a bordello. Belle traveled a long way from the school for young ladies.

Wife’s Diary: My husband was acting weird. We met at a nice restaurant for dinner. I thought he was upset that I was a bit late, but he made no comment. Conversation wasn’t flowing, and we went home. I asked what was wrong. He said, “Nothing.” I can’t explain his behavior. He just sat there in silence. I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted noth-ing to do with me anymore. I went to bed and cried. My life is a di-saster. Husband’s Diary: A two-foot putt! Who the hell misses a two-foot putt! A cruise ship sank, and three men were on a deserted island. One man knelt down and prayed for deliverance. The second man did the same. The third just sat and looked

across the ocean. “Aren’t you going to pray to be found?” the other two asked. The man said, “Last year, I do-nated $10 million to the church. This year I pledged $20 million. They’ll find me.” A dying man said to his wife, “You’ve always been with me, through thick and thin and all the bad times.” He continued, “When I got fired, you were there. When my business failed, you were be-side me. When the house burned down, you were there. When I got cancer, you were there.” A tear fell from his wife’s eye. He lay silent for a moment and then said, “Do you know what I think?” “No, what?” she said. “I think you’re bad luck.”
