How many of your great ideashave already been turned intousable material? There’s reallynothing new under the sun…

but there are things available that we havenot learned how to make usable.

When television came on the market,my brother noticed that TV sets were usu-ally placed in the corner of a room on anangle, to be watched by all. He drew up aplan for a television shaped like a triangleto fit in the corner. Nothing came of it butexcitement reigned until a new idea camealong. That is the nature of creative folks.

I have a relative who loves old cars. Healso loves new ideas. He was planning a tripup north, I heard he was fueling his dieselautomobile with used cooking oil. Ha ha, Ithought… until I asked if it was true. Herevved up the motor to prove it and I couldsmell French fries. He made the trip toPennsylvania and back without a hitch.

That’s why, when searching for otherinformation on the internet, I clicked on anarticle called Fueled By Lemonade. WhatAn Idea! While searching the internet forsomething entirely different, I ran acrossthe research by Toyota concerning their Miraiautomobile. It was all about our abilities toconvert many things to hydrogen, the “mostabundant element in the universe.”

Renewable energy like wind, water, andsolar energy is everywhere, to help produceelectricity. The report tells us that hydrogenlets us store that electricity to use as needed.Storing energy in the form of hydrogen, it

can be put through a fuel cell to create elec-tricity that could power automobiles, build-ings, etc.

This fascinating message was shared bycreators of the Mirai Toyota makers. Theytell us that hydrogen is found in many thingsthat are going to waste—like lemonade.

In a 1970 report, lemon became an Amer-ican slang term for a car that is found to bedefective after purchase. I’ve also heardthat “the lemon fruit is impossible to eat.” Itmakes great lemonade! I’ve enjoyed a glassof lemonade from the time I could walk! Iview lemonade like the poem titled The Opti-mist. It appeared in 1940 in The Rotarian:

Life handed him a lemon, as life sometimes will do.

His friends looked on in pity, assuming he was through.

They came upon him later, reclining in the shade

In calm contentment, drinking a glass of lemonade.

That lemonade could come to fuel a finenew automobile so... when life gives youlemons, make lemonade.

We Walked For A Cure; And Our StepsMade The Difference…

We Know... Alzheimer’s disease is robbing us of our

loved ones; it is robbing them of theirmemories; it is robbing future generationsof their families and their financial stabil-ity… so, we walk.

We walked in Volusia County for twomiles at the beautiful Riverfront Park onSeptember 12. We walked in Flagler Countyat the breathtaking seaside Veteran’s Parkon September 26. We walked side-by-sidewith you; we held our flowers up high; andleft inspired for a new, more profoundlyhopeful future in the fight to end Alz-heimer’s disease.

What Did You Do To Help?For the first time, Flagler County sur-

passed its goal of $42,800! We exceededour expectations in this vibrant communitywith special thanks and appreciation to theamazing leadership of our Walk Committee,our dedicated volunteers, our generous spon-sors and the inspiring walk teams that broughtfriends, families, and coworkers! We wantedto take a moment to highlight our top teamfundraiser: Parks Dermatology and theirteam, Sweet Sue’s Strollers who raised over$12,000; and to our top individual fundraiser,Miss Adeline Nelson who raised almost $800by herself!

In Volusia County, we are 79 percentof our goal, so there’s still timeto donate! Every dollar helpsus realize our goal that muchsooner! We need to raise$65,000 in this beautiful, car-ing community. Special thanksand appreciation to the won-derful Walk Committee inVolusia County, volunteers,sponsors and walk teams. Topteam, Brookdale Senior Liv-ing raised over $3,000 for theVolusia County Walk; while Heidi Webbraised over $1,500 by herself!

Why The Walk To End Alzheimer’sIs Making A Difference

This year, there is reason to be cau-tiously optimistic. Your dollars are goingto research that is producing some promis-ing science and possible treatments forthe future.

To learn more about the Alzheimer’s Asso-ciation International Conference held inWashington, DC, visit www.alz.org/aaicIn March, nearly 70 counties were repre-sented; and there were over, 1,800 presen-tations from all over the globe. Out of thatconference, there were some interestingearly phase clinical trials and studies beingdone in the name of treating and eventuallyendingAlzheimer’sdisease. One study focusedon aerobic exercise three times a week and aMediterranean-style diet to possibly loweryour risk for mild cognitive impairment.Just a few examples of how raising moneyfor Walks translates into research, support,and education.

We are adding new Memories in theMaking® art classes for those in the early

stages of dementia in more areas and pro-viding increased offerings of educationprograms to help caregivers feel equippedand supported.

For details about the research, our pro-grams, or donations, call us at: 1.800.272.3900 or visit us at act.alz org/ flaglercountyor act.alz.org/volusiacounty

As the late Paul Harvey wouldsay, “Now, the rest of thestory” Fifteen years ago Iwrote my first story for Seniors

Today. Here now is how that story ended…and what a happy ending.

On Thursday, December 30, 2000 Peg andI invited two old Tennessee friends for lunch.He was recovering from recent heart surgeryso Doris told us about his symptoms andsubsequent successful surgery. After a greatvisit, good food, and lots of laughs, they left.

After we closed the door, rather matter-of-factly I told Peg I had the same symp-toms... and in fact was having them at thatvery instance. I had been working on tellingher for several weeks, and this seemed theopportune moment. Off to the ER.

Multiple tests showed blocked arteries,(mud in the blood). Further tests would con-firm.A cardiologist said I needed to be cathed(peek inside the veins). Alas, it was a holi-day weekend, so I was sent home with acheery prescription: “Stay alive until nextyear, then we’ll cath.

Holidays over, Tuesday the 4th, I resumednormal activity except beach running.

On the 11th the Dr. reviewed test results.(Why can't they get one hour service at Wal-greens like everybody else?) His conclu-sion, 'We'll need to cath you,’ put dye in yourveins and look around. That sounded likefun so I said, 'let's get groin!'

Next day, everybody is at work, sober, andcheerful. My insurance company says, ‘Yes,we’ll cooperate.’ I'm so thankful for businessmen who can make good medical decisions.

The surgeon promised me that he wasvery good at cathing, adding he had donethis ‘hundreds of times.’ I found it interest-ing that someone who looked like a highschool student could have such extensiveexperience. He said he had been playing vir-tual reality games since he was six.

Doc said, ‘We'll just go in and look around,but I want your permission to proceed if I seeanything that needs immediate attention.’Not in a position to argue with a masked man,I said, ‘why not.’

In he went. Left turn here, right jag there... oops, watch that kidney. During all this,I was awake and watching via the monitor.Once I saw Wolf Blitzer reporting on my

progress. It was just like the old days whenI was a television studio director... except Icouldn’t call the camera shots!

Everything went smoothly. I had severalblockages... ranging from 70–90 percent,two of which could not be corrected but wereso small as not to matter. Others were in the'do it now' category. The procedure, angio-somethingorother, took 2 hours, but wasthe right choice. In the worst blockage, whichwas 'Y' shaped, he placed a long stent, whichhe described as a rolled up piece of chickenwire which expands once inside the vein.Then he placed a second, shorter stent inthe other 'leg' of the 'Y' by going through themiddle of the first stent. This is done with a'balloon' wire which expands the vein, butallowing room to work. All of this began inthe groin and finished with a groan.

I was in recovery overnight with a newnickname... 'The groin in 502.' Next day Ineeded 'recovery' from the awakenings dur-ing the night... take this, take that. Wouldyou like a sleeping pill? For what... I ask?

A bit sore but otherwise perky, I wenthome the next day in time to eat out. Dr.says in 2 weeks I can resume normal activityincluding walking and gradual running onthe beach. Eventually, I hope to also recovermy modesty.

Skip forward fifteen years to Sept, 2015.After diet changes, 10 years of cholesterolDraino, many walks, gym visits, and soft-ball games, I am much improved and sincemy last check-up, with the exception ofaspirin, off all meds… yes all. No matterhow you cut it… that’s a great finish.

I'm thankful for a caring wife, modernmedicine, and good doctoring. I’m thankfulfor the Ormond Memorial experienced heartcare team. I’m thankful that I could eatcheese for at least 62.8 years. The surgeonsaid don’t even dream about BBQ ribs.

If you feel the chest tightening and evenminor associated pain, get thee to your doc-tor… NOW!

Let’s talk again…say around 2030.

Like most crimes, mail theft isa crime of opportunity thatcan happen to anyone, any-where, and of course, at any

time. Thieves don’t just target seeminglyvaluable mail, such as checks. In thewrong hands, others items includingutility bills, credit card, or bank state-ments and credit applications can beused to steal your identity, finance aspending spree in your name, and drainone or all of your bank account.

Fortunately, there aresome precautions thatyou can take to signifi-cantly reduce your riskof becoming a victim ofmail theft. Here are some tips from theU.S. Postal Service on how you can pre-vent thieves from stealing your mail:• Don’t put bills in your mailbox for

pickup by your carrier. Instead, dropthem off in a blue postal collectionbox or at your local Post Office.

• Never send cash or coins through themail. Use checks or money orders.

• Contact the issuing agency if youdon’t receive a check, food coupon,credit card, or other valuable pieceof mail that you were expecting.

• Watch the mail when you’re expect-ing a new credit card that you appliedfor or a re-issued card that has expired.Immediately contact the issuer if thecredit card doesn’t arrive.

• When ordering new checks, don’thave them sent to your home. Makearrangements to pick them up atthe bank instead.

• Pick up your mail promptly after delivery. Don’t leave it in your mail-box overnight. If you won’t be homewhen important items are expected,ask a trusted friend or neighbor topick up your mail.

• Tell your Post Office when you’llbe out of town so they can hold yourmail until you return.

• If you change your address, immedi-ately notify your Post Office andanyone you do business via the mail.While nothing is foolproof, practic-

ing these safety tips will greatly reduceyour chances of becoming a victim ofmail theft.

NAPSA

While the cold and flu sea-son often coincides withholiday celebrations andfamily get-togethers, there

are preventative measures that families cantake to stay healthy and not miss out.

To help you get to the next “can’t miss”life event, consider these preventative tips:• Get an annual flu shot. It’s the most

effective way to help prevent the spreadof influenza. You can get a vaccine atany of the more than thousands of cliniclocations across the country. The flu shotis available every day at many locationswith no appointment needed. As a preventive service under the Afford-

able Care Act, it’s fully covered and avail-able at no cost through most insuranceplans, including Medicare Part B.

The pharmacy can also be a one-stopshop for flu prevention resources, includ-ing over-the-counter cold and flu remedies,multivitamins, and anti-bacterial products.• Seniors, take extra precaution. There’s

a high-dose flu shot designed for those65 and older, who have a greater riskof severe illness from the flu.

• Plan ahead: the earlier, the better. It takesup to two weeks for your immunity tobuild up after getting a flu shot. TheCenters for Disease Control and Preven-tion (CDC) recommends that everyonewho is at least 6 months old get a flushot as soon as the vaccine is available.

• Stay home if you’re ill. While it mayseem like a no-brainer, two-thirds ofemployed Americans would still go towork even if they were feeling ill withflu-like symptoms. It’s important tounderstand the preliminary symptomsof the flu and, if you experience them,to stay home. This will help bolster yourimmune system and prevent the germsfrom spreading.

• Practice healthy habits. Door handles,desks, and other everyday items areridden with germs. Wash your handsfrequently with soap and warm waterfor at least 20 seconds and avoid touch-ing your mouth and eyes. Additionally,eat nutritious foods, drink plenty of water,and get sufficient sleep to keep yourimmune system in top shape. Leadby example to educate children aboutthese habits.

Don’t Let The Flu Mean MissingMemorable Moments

A recent survey found that nearlytwo in five U.S. adults have misseda life event because they were illwith flu-like symptoms—but you

don’t have to.

Dear Paw's Corner: My son's twocats will not use the litter boxes at all!They will defecate in them, but onlyurinate on the carpet or floor. We helpedhim clean the carpets, which seemedto help some, and blocked off areasthey were urinating on. Now they justgo in a different spot. Our vet said totake the lids off the three boxes, butthat didn't work. What will help stopthe madness?

—Tim H., Orange City

Dear Tim: Litter-box avoidance isone of the biggest issues cat ownerscan have. Even when you rule out mostof the possible causes, the problem maynever be totally solved. However, you'retaking some good steps to minimize it.

First, your son is in touch with thecats' vet. This is important in order torule out any illness, such as a urinarytract infection, causing elimination out-side the box. Second, you've thoroughlycleaned the soiled areas and tried tokeep the cats away. Third, access tothe boxes is unimpeded because thelids are off.

Now it's time to try a few more things.A keep-away spray, available at pet sup-ply stores, could make the marked areasmuch less desirable. Cleaning both thecarpet and the padding underneath withan enzymatic cleaner that neutralizesodors also can help. Scooping the boxesdaily is essential, too.

Next, observe the cats' behaviorclosely. Is there some conflict? Is onecat preventing the other's access, ordisturbing the other cat while it's try-ing to go? Are both cats marking thecarpet, or just one?

For more tips on solving this prob-lem, go to the ASPCA website at www.aspca.org and do a search for litterbox problems.

Section BOctober 9, 2015

by Tyler Stover,

Each year, an adult female catcan produce three litters withan average of four kittensin each litter, and a female

dog can produce two litters with an aver-age of four puppies. When cats and dogsare left free to reproduce, it leads to moreanimals taken in at shelters. Even insidepets should be spayed or neutered. Itonly takes one occasion of a pet sneak-ing outside or getting off its leash forit to reproduce.

Puppies and kittens can be safelyspayed or neutered as early as two

months of age, or when they weigh atleast two pounds. Sterilization providesmany positive health and behavioralbenefits for pets. Spaying a female petprevents uterine infections and breastcancer, which are often fatal ailmentsfor cats and dogs. Neutering your malepet can prevent testicular cancer if donebefore six months of age. Sterilized petsare far less likely to urinate in the houseto mark their territory. They are also lessinclined to roam away from their homeor attempt to escape.

Spaying and neutering your pet is acost-effective measure as well. Surg-

eries at Halifax Humane Society’sRedinger Spay/Neuter Clinic range from$20-90 for most animals. Low-costimmunizations are available at the timeof surgery as well. Compare this to thecost of caring for an unexpected litterof puppies or kittens, which can costseveral hundred dollars per animal ormore in the first year.

Most importantly, having your petsterilized helps fight the pet overpop-ulation problem. Like most open-admis-sion animal shelters, Halifax HumaneSociety is regularly at full capacity.According to the ASPCA, U.S. animal

shelters take in 5-7 mil-lion animals each year.By spaying or neuteringyour pet, you guarantee that your petwill not add to this number. Manyanimal shelters and rescue groups willnot even accept animals from the public,or have very limited admission stan-dards (Note: Halifax Humane Societyis Volusia County’s only full-service,open-admission shelter).

Tyler Stover is the Community Out-reach Director of Halifax Humane Societyin Daytona Beach. He can be reachedat 386-274-4703, ext. 320.

by Mitch Booth, Owner of Love Whole Foods

October has gotten off to anamazing start. Our Summer ofLove resulted in a major facelift at our Ormond location. We

reset the store with all new shelving, reor-ganized our bulk selections to make it eas-ier for customers to use while expandingthe number of organic teas and coffees.The Latte Love Café worked overtime toproduce new entrees that resulted in a five-star Trip Advisor award. We also upgradedour refrigeration to enhance the energyefficiency of our open coolers, organic pro-duce cases, and freezers. Our “hot gas recap-ture” system was state of the art in 2001when we built the new Ormond store. Now,we produce all the hot water for FREE!

Twenty-five years ago Love Whole Foodscreated a resource for our community. Itbegan with a commitment to food integri-ty that has not changed. These values areposted on our website: LoveWhole-Foods.com With one exception, which Iwill address later, these values have driventhis locally owned family run business.One tool that we have given to our cus-tomers, has been over two decades of con-tinuing community education programs atboth stores. We have held events featuringnationally recognized figures like Dr. Jor-dan Rubin, Terry Limerond, and of coursemy personal friend Dr. Michael Murray,from Natural Factors. Michael actuallylaunched two of his landmark books: HowTo Treat And Prevent Cancer and How ToTreat Type II Diabetes. I am continuingthat tradition by having several outstand-ing events this month. October is BreastCancer Awareness Month and more impor-tantly, it is GMO (Genetically ModifiedOrganisms) Awareness Month.

On the first of October, we hosted anevening with Kristin Burton, CNHP, andCertified Clinical Thermographer. Shepresented a program on a new technologywhich produces heat images that detectsinflammation in the body. Not only doesthe images offer detection of precancerousconditions, but also inflammation of theheart, the mouth, and the gut. The Ther-mography discussed has no known sideeffects. Mammograms, which utilize ioniz-ing radiation, can have a cumulative effect.

Now let’s go back to our original organicfood standards initiated. The only changehas been the need to monitor and, wheneverpossible, eliminate GMO contaminants fromthe foods. I knew about Monsanto’s experi-ments in gene manipulation in the 80s andearly 90s. I just never imagined that ourgovernment would allow such dangeroustechnology to be introduced to the Ameri-can food supply. Not only has our govern-ment sanctioned this radical technology,but they have passed laws protecting theindustry. This has all been done because afundamental argument, perpetuated bythese companies PR departments. This isquite frankly a lie. It seems a bit disingen-uous for these self-described “scientists”

to bemoan our food sup-ply after the National Resources DefenseCouncil just published its white paper:Wasted: How America Is Losing Up to 40Percent Of Its Food from Farm To ForkTo Landfill. (www. nrdc.org/food) Thisresearch was picked up by the media out-lets nation-wide on September 6th of thisyear. The conclusion: By reducing foodwaste by 15 percent, we could feed morethan 25 million Americans who do nothave a secure daily food supply. We arenot running out of food. We simply needto mindful of our resources. Clearly thereis a food crisis in the war ravaged areasof the world. Our wasteful practices com-bined with the use of this bio-technologyas a weapon of our foreign policy (readCorn Wars: New Republic 8/16) should makeevery American fighting mad.

Don’t get mad—redirect. Accept an invi-tation to initiate change. Join us at LoveWhole Foods—Ormond on October 14th at 7P.M. to discuss this initial issue. The speakerwill be another outstanding woman, ErinElizabeth who is a tenacious activist forhealth and wellness. A local resident, she hasa Facebook following of over a quarter mil-lion friends who follow her books, lectures,and talks. She has informed me that she willbe joined by special guest: Dr. Joseph Mer-cola, another locally renowned figure in thehealth and fitness arena. His website Merco-la.com has a worldwide following. (Stop byor call either store to reserve a seat.

My wife and I were honored to be invitedto attend an incredible medical lecture byDr. Ajay Goel, director of GastrointestinalCancer Research, Baylor University, whichwas held in New Jersey. He discussed thedramatic results being published in themedical literature on Euro Pharma (TerryNaturally’s Curamed) BCM 95 Curcumin(turmeric). The success of this nutraceuticalin fighting cancer, either as a standalonetherapy or adjunctive with conventional treat-ment. The clinical science are so impres-sive, I have asked Leslie Larsen, a frequentguest of our education series, to present Dr.Goel’s results so that our community canbenefit. This topic is sure to inspire goodturnout, so please call and reserve a seat forthe evening of October 21, 7 P.M. at our PortOrange location.

To assist women in reaching their goals,I have turned to Natural Factors WomenSense line to the needs of women at allstages of their lives. Energy, sleep, stress,and even hormone balance are all tar-geted with formulas that work. I havepartnered with Natural Factors to offerthe whole line at 25 percent until Octo-ber 22, 2015. Armed with the informa-tion these programs will provide, I invitethe courageous women, speakers, andguests alike to help chart a new path towellness for themselves, their families,and the whole community.
