On October 23 The UnitedStates Army Field Band AndSoldiers Chorus honoredus with a visit to Daytona

Beach, appearing at Peabody Audito-rium. It was an evening of excellence.The auditorium was filled, downstairsand in the balcony, with an audiencethat heard every-thing musical…from patriotic tooperatic.

Each personmust have comeaway with a cer-tain memory. Forme, it was the song writtenand sung by a member of theband. I was so busy writingdown the name of the song (pro-grammed under the heading‘by various artists’) that I missedthe name of the composer. Thesong… My Lord Is A Rock In AWeary Land.

I checked out the band on thecomputer and find this truth to be evi-dent… The U.S. Army Field Band, fromWashington, D.C, is “one of the mostversatile and inspiring musical organi-zations in the world.” More than sixdecades as the military’s most trav-eled musicians have earned them thetitle, “The Musical Ambassadors OfThe Army.”

While we were enjoying the Armyband and chorus at Peabody Audito-rium, our winning Sweet Adelines cho-ruses and quartets from the UnitedStates and other countries were com-peting internationally in Seattle, Wash-ington. Thousands of women plannedahead and were there to participate and/or watch the champions. We heard thatwhen they arrived, some of the roomarrangements had to be changed and thatcertain city streets were blocked off,leading to delays.

Why was that? Wouldn’t you knowthat the President of the United Stateschose that same time to visit Seattle?

We, who stayed at home, had the ad -vantage of watching some of the inter-national contest on webcast. Otherwise,we would not have known what tran-spired. As it was, we couldn’t easilyadjust daily schedules to see the entirebroadcast or who the actual winnerswere and had to wait until Mondaynight rehearsal to learn the whole storyfrom our director.

As the raintrees turn from yellow tored and a soft breeze moves across ourtown, we enjoy many wonderful thingsand begin planning for the holidays.

The holidays, as we knew them, willnever be the same as when we wereraising a family. New branches havesprouted on our family trees and wemove on to new things. With all thechanges, there is still the potential forspecial, new memories… memories

of a different kind. I once wonderedwhy anyone would think of going ona cruise during the holidays; why they

would go out to eat at a restaurantinstead of having a home cookedmeal with the family etc.

Who knows, maybe next year, myholidays will be spent in Alaska or

Hawaii. ST

Balance the Budget Cut Government Spending No Tax Increases No Bailouts Secure Our Borders Now Make Government Work

NOT Grow

People who never dreamed theywould have an estate so largethey would owe estate taxwhen they die will most find

themselves in that situation after Jan-uary. Estate tax is different from incometax, and other taxes. It is based uponassets owned by the deceased person.It is sometimes referred to as an inher-itance tax, but it is actually taxed on theestate of the decedent, not on what therecipient inherits.

In 2001, Congress set a new estate taxexemption for the upcoming years, elim-inated the estate tax altogether for 2010,and then provided that the law wouldsunset at the end of 2010, resulting inreturn to a one-million dollar ex emptionbeginning in 2011 and thereafter. Al -though at the time, Congress said it waseliminating the estate tax, it eliminatedit only for 2010.

The exemption was 3.5 million dol-lars in 2008 and 2009. Experts believedthat Congress would amend the lawprior to the end of 2009 in order toavoid receiving no tax in 2010. How-ever, while various bills were offered,the law was not changed. Even at the endof 2009 into the first months of 2010,there was talk of extending the 2009

exemption into 2010, retroactive to Jan-uary 1, but as of now, there is no amend-ment under consideration. There is alsono amendment under consideration as tothe one million dollar exemption begin-ning in 2011.

Now, the experts do not anticipatefurther action in the immediate future.Reducing taxes does not provide neededincome for various budgetary needs.Allowing the estate tax to continue withonly a one-million-dollar exemptiondoes not require action by Congress.Members of Congress would not have toface their constituents as having cre-ated a tax. It was created years ago.

Many more people will be subjectto estate tax beginning in 2011 thanhave been subject to tax since 2001.

by George Goldtrap (Part II–TelephoneHistory)

The title of this piece, Get ThatWhile You’re Up is a phrase fromthe past of those of us over 50 orso. It alludes to answering the

telephone. The term ‘while you’re up’ wasbecause most households had only onephone, and no matter where you were whenthe phone rang… (yes rang… not beeped,gurgle, or play the top 40), you were some-where else… usually sitting down. Since noone wanted to get up and ‘go’ to the phone,the phrase—‘get that while you’re up’—be -came the order of the day.

Let’s go back a few years… say the late30s, 40s, or early 50s. Telephones were notthe tiny, portable, multitasking, technomarvels they are today. Telephones werelarge, desk top devices with three or fourmajor components… the stand, with amouthpiece (mic) on top, the ear piece,which hung on the side hook, (attached tothe ‘tower’ by a 3 foot cotton covered cord),the rotary dialer at the base of the unit,and a ‘bell box’ attached nearby to thewall, and by wire to the base unit. It wasa household production… a major appli-ance… that belonged to Ma Bell and you‘rented’ it by the month. It was serviced,(only if ‘you broke it’ since Western Elec-tric had made the phone very nearly inde-structible), by a nice man in an ugly olivegreen pick’em up truck.

The family phone was usuallyin the living room or hall, on acustom-built telephone table…astaple in any local furniture store.When it rang, you were in thekitchen, the back bedroom or thelibrary. There was no answeringmachine or service so allowing10 rings was pretty standard,thus giving the ‘called’ time to getto the demanding ring. You did-n’t always make it… especiallyif you were at home by yourself.If the phone rang after bedtime, (9-9:30),it meant trouble. No reasonable neighboror friend called ‘after hours’… that wasdiscourteous.

Phone numbers usually had 5 digits.Our number was 63845. A local company,Atlantic Ice, and Coal Co. had a similarnumber… 63844. In addition to ice andcoal they stocked beer in their cooler but soldit only by the case. Customers wanting acase, called, and Atlantic Ice & Coal tookthe order. The beer was delivered by cab.

Because of the similarity of the num-bers, we often received their calls… usu-ally from a reveler whose red, blurred,eyes could not clearly make out the numberson the dialer. The calls came between 12:30and 2:30 A.M.

Dad hated two things… beer… andearly morning phone calls. To him… bothwere ruining society. When the phonerang at 2:30 A.M., there was no one to ‘getthat while you’re up’ so… (ring two…ring three), Dad had to roll out of bed,

(ring four)… locate his house shoes…(ring five)… and start fumbling, ring six,and seven), his way through the dark.Ouch! My shin! Who left that chair in themiddle of the room? (ring eight and nine).Finally, the chain on the light fixture hang-ing from the middle of the living room,marked the end of the journey. Just in time…he made it to the small table, to answerthe phone as ring ten blared.

‘All Right,’ he’d say. (Dad never saidhello, just all right!)

Then, through thickened tongue, thecaller would mumble, ‘Can you folks pleasesend over a case of them cold Falstaffs?’(Falstaff being one of the area’s favoredbeers). Patiently, (Dad never got excited),he would ask: ‘What’s that address?’ Thecaller would slur something out and Dadwould respond ‘Thank You’ then promptlyturn out the light and go back to bed.

Mother hated beer almost as much asdid Dad, but felt his deception was just nothonest—that he ought to tell them theyhad the wrong number and hang up. Dadcountered that the caller was probably

already drunk and didn’t needthe beer anyway. Further, heexplained, ‘they’ll soon blackout anyway and not even missthe failed delivery.’ Under nocircumstances was Dad goingto be a party to beer sales. Ihave no idea whether AtlanticIce and Coal ever realized whathad been happening, or why theirafter-hours beer sales hit bottom.

This went on for several yearsuntil 1954 when we moved to anew home. Mother ordered the

phone service moved to the new location.When Ma Bell’s service man came out tomake the move, Mother insisted that weretain the unique old upright instrumentbut the service man said ‘no’, adding thatit was the last one in service in Nashville.The instrument belonged to Ma Bell andhis orders were to collect the antique andreplace it with a new cradle phone. Motherwas upset, but powerless. I loved the newphone. It was smaller, and ‘modern.’

Next time your phone rings rememberthe old system and be glad you don’t haveto ‘get up and answer it.’ Just let the invis-ible lady in the answering machine get it.She’s up! ST

Donald Sugg, a 96 year oldresident of Woodland Tow-ers in DeLand has a uniqueway of celebrating his birth-

day… he likes to skydive. On his 95th birthday he jumped twice.

This year he jumped from the DelandSkydive Airport on September 23. Hehopes his efforts will inspire people todonate to the Alzheimer’s Association.

“I’ve always had an adventurousspirit,” says Sugg who has been sky-diving for 15 years. “ I am a very for-tunate man. I am healthy, happy, andwant to give something back to thisworld which has given me so much.I’ve always had a keen interest in theworkings of the brain and as I’ve gottenolder I have seen the toll that Alzheimer’sdisease and other dementias have takenon those in my peer group. I had a col-league years ago whose memory startedto fail and I must admit I didn’t havetoo much patience with that. So maybeI’m trying to clear my conscience forthat failing a little bit too.”

Sugg has had a custom jump suitmade with the name and address ofthe local Alzheimer’s Association

chapter written on it. He hopes that aspeople take an interest in his activity,they will also take a moment to reflecton why he is making this commitmentto the Alzheimer’s Association thisyear on his birthday and join him insupporting its work. ST

Have you ever consulted anutritionist about your diet?It might not be a bad idea.I recently had an appoint-

ment with a nutritionist, and boy, did Ilearn a lot. As we age, many of us expe-rience changes in smell and taste, tend toeat to kill hunger rather than for healthand lose interest in food in general.

Many of us don’t get enough proteinbecause we’re stuck with the belief thatit requires a big portion of meat. Not so.One of the most potent protein sourcesis a combination of beans and rice.

Then there’s the matter of food den-sity. As we age, our appetites and capac-ity are different. If we fill up on food thathas less nutritional value, we’re robbingour bodies of what we need for health.

Portion sizes can be confusing. Theyare smaller than you’d think. In manycases, a half-cup constitutes a portion.If weight is a problem, overestimatingthe size of a portion can add to the dif-ficulty of controlling those pounds.

Fruit is our friend, although many ofus get away from it as we age. It appar-

ently doesn’t matter how we get thefruit—fresh, frozen, dried, canned, orpureed like applesauce—because thenutrients are still present.

Variety in foods, said the nutritionist,is one of the best ways you can stayhealthy as we age.

A consultation with a nutritionistmight be ones of the best things you cando. They will be able to assess your age,activity level, diet limitations andweight, and come up with a food planto keep you in top shape. ST

Should You Consult A Nutritionist?


“Turn here, right here,” Cratusyelled at his brother Tab. TheModel A truck bucked andlurched as Tab slammed his

foot down on the brake pedal. It took afew seconds for the truck to come to acomplete stop in the sandy two rut road.

“Turn where,” Tab asked.It’s behind us now, Cratus said with a

slight bit of sarcasm in his voice.Like brothers do, the two men argued

back and forth about the turn as Tab groundthe truck into reverse and slowly backedto the turn off.

The sun was beginning to break throughthe early morning fog as they made theirturn. The turn would carry them on theirtrek to Womack Creek not far from Carra-belle on the Florida coast had started ear-lier that morning, way before daylight inFaceville, Georgia.

The two unloaded the ten foot woodenboat from the back of the truck and slid itdown the hill and into the slowly movingdark water of Womack Creek and loadedit with their fish gear and headed up river.

Soon they were catching just what hadbeen promised by the tall tales the pair hadbeen hearing for the past few years fromsome of their fishing buddies.

The sun sat low in the West as they pulledthe boat now laden with fish up the bankto the truck.

“We should have already been out ofhere, you know what they said about beingin this swamp at night,” Tab said.

Cratus just rolled his eyes and lurchedthe boat forward in the back of the truck.

“We’ll be alright, I ain’t never been lost,”he said as the sun went down below thecypress trees. A hoot owl wailed in the dis-tance as another answered nearby. Thewoods took on a different look as sun slowlydied behind a cloud and darkness crept in.

Tab stepped on the starter and the ModelA, moaned into life. Follow our tracks,Cratus said as he motioned Tab back inthe direction they had come.

Now totally dark except for the dimlights of the truck the pair moved slowlyalong the ruts made from their trip in.

For the first few miles the road waseasily followed, but then it disappeared. Tabbrought the truck to a stop and looked atCratus. The clatter of the Model A enginefilled the air and then, the engine went quite.

Why did you cut the engine off,” Cra-tus asked Tab.

“I didn’t,” came the response. Off to the right of the truck there was a

sudden rustling in the scrub oaks. The noisegrew louder and louder as it crept towardsthe two brothers. A sigh came from theedge of the woods and then another fol-lowed by another.

“What is it, What is it,” the two menasked in unison.

A strange eerie orange glow fell acrossthe front of the truck, in a few seconds the

glow became brighter. The leaves of thescrub oaks rattled like a hundred rattlesnakes as the orange glow rose above them.

A dozen feet across, the glowing orangeball rose higher and higher as it clearedthe trees and drifted over head. Neitherbrother could move.

A cool breeze picked up the glowingball and pushed it across the clearing infront of the truck, a few moments later itwas out of sight behind a tree.

The silhouette of the tree a hundred yardsaway could be seen as the glowing ballgrew brighter and brighter. There was along hissing then a tremendously loud soundlike a clap of thunder rocked the groundand the two men, as before the glowing ballthere was silence and darkness again.

Without saying a word, the two men satdown in the truck as Tab stepped on thestarter and the engine moaned to a start.

Two hours later they found themselvesright back where they had started on thebanks of Womack Creek.

“Never been lost, huh,” Tab said to hisbrother.

They spent the night in the swamp, decid-ing it would be easier to find their way outin the daylight. That night would be filledwith the sounds of bears and gators and pan-thers as they took turns sleeping while theother stayed awake to ward off critters. Thenext day they found their way back to themain road and then back to civilization.

Starving they stopped at a country storeand bought something to eat. An old mansitting on a bench at the front of the storespoke to them when they came out.

“You boys look kinda of weary,” heasked the two.

The whole story was then told of theirtrip and the strange glowing ball and stay-ing awake all night warding off varmints.

The man listened intently to what theyhad to say, rubbing his chin and occasion-ally nodding in the affirmative. After lis-tening to their story, he shook his headfrom side to side and said, “You boys donewhat most locals around here wouldn’t do,you spent the night in Tate’s Hell.”

The brothers looked at each other.“That glowing ball you’re talking about

could have been anything from some ofthem phosphorus worms or the ghost of ol’Jeb Hill that went missing down there about20 years or so ago,” the old man said.

“You fellows are sure lucky to have gotout of there, been a many a one didn’t getso lucky,” he told them. ST

By William LendemerI had an outbreak of shingles back in November of 2008. My left fore-head, eyebrow, and eyelid were very itchy and tender. I suffered forthe next 18 months not knowing where to go for long-term relief. I triedeverything from prescription drugs to pain management which onlygave me 24 to 36 hours of relief. I was getting desperate that I eventried Preparation H which didn’t do anything.I stumbled upon an article at Seniors Today that caught my attention. It talkedabout acupuncture for Shingles Pain. I wanted to get my life back and I was willingto try anything. I told Dr. Gutierrez at ARC that the itching around the eye was theworse about 10 plus on a scale of 0-10. After a few treatments I could not believe theimprovement and reduction in symptoms. For the first time in a long while, I wasable to sleep without favoring only one side of my head.To date, my treatments are on going and I am amazed with the relief I have expe-rienced. It’s been a life changing difference for me.My wife is thrilled as well and has already referred a co-worker to ARC Acupunctureand Physical Therapy.

A 50% discount is available to new patients for their first acupuncture treatment.

Varicella-Zoster virus (VRZ)is known to cause two dis-eases: chickenpox (varicella)and shingles (herpes zoster).

Chickenpox is a common contagiousdisease of children that usually has abenign course.

Shingles is caused by a reactivationof latent VZV, commonly seen over age50. Weakening of the immune systemfrom aging can make people more sus-ceptible to shingles. A particular prob-lem is that patients with the disease goon to have persistent pain afterwardsknown as post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN).

According to a study in the BritishJournal Of General Practice, patientstreated with the most popular antiviraland corticosteroids, versus placebo, havenot had any statistically significant reduc-tion in pain after one months of treat-ment. Perhaps this is why more patientsare considering alternative and compli-mentary forms of treatments in additionto care provided by their primary carephysicians. Acupuncture, for example,can stimulate the immune system. Oneresearch study shows significant in-crease in CD3 and CD4 values afteracupuncture. (Journal Of TraditionalChinese Medicine, 1998 March.)

By the time most PHN patients seekhelp, their condition has become chronic.They have both primary and secondary

pain. The primary arises from pain fromshingles that damage the nerve, causingspontaneous firing of the nerve fibers.The secondary comes from muscle ten-sion due to chronic postural deviationsuch as guarding and adaptation.

Acupuncture along the damagednerve route can depolarize the abnormalelectrical imbalance; thus correcting orreducing the spontaneous firing of nerveimpulses. Furthermore, scarring createdby the shingles can cause adhesionscalled fibrosis along the nerve route.

Physical therapy techniques such assoft tissue work can accelerate healingby softening the adhesions and reducingthe choking effects of nerve entrapment.Acu puncture combined with electricalstimulation can likewise change the per-meability of the local tissue, improvecirculation, and change polarity of theelectrical imbalance thereby stimulat-ing tissue healing.

Don’t think twice… help is justaround the corner! ST

Ioften use this space to talk to youabout your own personal safety,such as things you can do to ensureyour physical safety around the

home, or financial safety when it comesto scam artists. This time, however, Iwant to address an important topic thatis dear to me: children.

Many of you have the wonderful op -portunity to look after little children.Maybe some youngsters in the neigh-borhood like to stop by your home to sayhello, or you get to watch your grand-children during the day while their par-ents are at work. Having young boys andgirls around can be the source of greatjoy, but there are potential dangers thatmay be unique to your home that shouldbe addressed for everyone’s safety.

First of all, please be aware of yourown limitations, and be honest with oth-ers about them. Young children are typ-ically full of seemingly never-endingenergy. Maybe it will be too exhaust-ing caring for kids all day long through-out the week. If so, don’t be afraid tospeak up about it and try to make otherpart-time arrangements. Don’t neglectyour own well-being, and consider thepotential danger to the children if youare tired at the end of a long day.

Inspect your home from a child’spoint of view, especially if you arecaring for very young kids, such astoddlers. Be on the lookout for coins,buttons, bottle caps, or anything elsethat is small enough to be a chokinghazard. Kids are very curious, so youneed to be too by checking such placesas under the couch and between thecushions for dangerous items.

You can take the same advice that isoften given to new parents about around-the-home accident prevention. Blockoff stairs with sturdy safety gates, anduse tamper-resistant covers on all elec-trical outlets.

One area of concern when seniorscare for children is safety latches on

drawers, cabinets, and even the toiletseat. Sometimes the latches can be justas difficult for adults to open as it is forthe children. If you don’t like the ideaof using them, then let the child’s par-ents know, and try to develop ways towork around the problem. Don’t assumethat your vigilance alone will be goodenough to keep children out of danger-ous cabinets.

Be careful choosing baby furniture.You may like the idea of using the oldcrib or high chair that you had used foryour own children, but be mindful thatthey may not be safe. Modern cribs andother furniture must be safety certified,and there is a chance that your old fur-niture doesn’t meet today’s standards.

Make sure all medication is out ofthe children’s reach and stored in tam-per resistant containers. Keep in mindthat even though you might want to keepthe medicine close at hand for your ownconvenience, children might easily mis-take the pills for candy. According tothe United States Consumer ProductSafety Commission, more than one-third of all accidental childhood pre-scription drug ingestions involve agrandparent’s medication. Do not leavepill bottle caps loose when childrenare around, and remember that pillreminder boxes are not childproof.

Be aware of dangers in the kitchen.When cooking on the stove, turn pothandles inward out of reach, and try touse the rear burners. Tablecloths can bedangerous too, because toddlers can pullon them and spill hot drinks or soupon themselves.

Keeping these safety pointers inmind will help ensure that your timespent with children is enjoyable andincident-free. ST

From Chicken Soup For The Grand AndGreat

Our family had always beenbig on birthday celebrationsand other special occasions.On each and every birthday,

my entire family gathered together toshare a meal, gifts, and a song. Mymother wasn’t fond of her own birth-days. Like many women her age, whenher birthday rolled around she onlyadmitted to being 29, just as she wasthe year before.

At the ripe old age of 12, my twinsons had figured out that Grandma wasmuch older than she admitted, but didn’tdare question her when she once againannounced that she was 29 and holding.My younger daughter, Becky, took herseriously, however. She believed everyword that her grandmother told her. IfGrandma said she was 29, as far asBecky was concerned, she was 29. Therewas no question about it.

A few months went by, and we joinedtogether as a family to celebrate my 30th

birthday. After everyone sang HappyBirthday, we enjoyed heaping helpings

of cake and ice cream. Finally, the timecame for me to open my presents. Beckyhad been unusually quiet during theentire celebration. She carried a worriedlook on her face.

After all of the guests left, she justcouldn’t stand it any longer and sadlyinformed me: “Mamma, you’re 30, andGrandma is 29. I hate to have to tell youthis, but you must’ve been adopted.”

Dear Paw’s Corner: I have threerescued dogs that each dig a small hole,usually with their teeth, and proceed toeat the dirt. I feed them quality food,so I don’t know what they’re after. Is thistypical behavior or are they lacking amineral that the dirt is providing? I’malso not real happy about the holes inthe lawn. I’ll bet I am not the only onewith this issue.

— Jeannette V., Billings MontanaDear Jeannette: You’re right, this

behavior is actually common and asource of distress for a lot of dog owners.Termed pica—defined by the AngellMemorial Hospital’s Book Of Well-ness And Preventive Care For Dogs as“an abnormal desire to eat thingsthat are indigestible”—this behav-ior in cludes eating dirt and rocks.Some dogs will eat sticks, socks, orwhatever is handy.

A common form of pica is copropha-gia, a fancy term for “eating poop,” whichmany dog owners also deal with.

Pica is a symptom of obsessive-com-pulsive disorder, although a nutritional

deficiency also can be a cause. So thefirst thing to do is consult the dogs’veterinarian. The vet may ask you tobring in samples of the dogs’ stool tocheck for worms or other problems.(Separate each dog’s sample in plas-tic baggies with their names.) Even ifthe vet doesn’t find a physical cause,he or she may recommend you add avitamin supplement to their diets.

You’ll also need to address the obses-sive-compulsive component. This meansgoing outside with the dogs (or takingthem out one by one for awhile). Whenthey start digging or chewing at theground, distract them immediately andcall them over for a short spell of basicobedience training, rewarding them witheither treats or praise depending on yourtraining style. You also must fill in andre-sod the small holes in the lawn. ST

Growing up, Laurie Sandellwas captivated by her fa-ther’s amazing stories. He’dbeen everywhere and done

everything: performed heroic deedsas a Green Beret, he earned multipledegrees, participated in a duel, heldhigh positions in the government, knownhundreds of famous folks personally—she suspected he might even have beena spy. He’s larger than life, and Lauriewonders if she’ll ever be able to live upto his example.

Years later, Laurie has become a suc-cessful magazine writer, often using talesof her father as icebreakers with thecelebrities she interviews. At their urging,she decides to write an article abouthis adventures. This time, when jour-nalist Laurie is obliged to fact-checkher dad’s stories, discrepancies appearthat were invisible to little-girl Laurie.None of the prestigious universities heclaimed to have attended have heard ofhim. He never advanced in the militarybeyond the rank of private. Several law-suits have been filed against him. Her

father’s unbelievable exploits are turn-ing out to be just that.

Feeling betrayed, Laurie publishesthe article anonymously. The floodgateshave been opened, and as more of herfather’s deceptions bob to the surface,her hurt and confusion only grow.Trapped in a complicated web of guiltand anger, Laurie finds her loss of trustmarring every facet of her life, andrealizes that she needs to do some truth-seeking in her own life as well.

Out of that journey comes thisremarkable memoir of a daughterstruggling to come to terms with herfamily’s tangled version of reality andthe effect it has had on her own lifeand identity. Presented in the formof a graphic novel, the deceptivelysimple drawings and frank, honestdialogue quickly absorb the reader ina deepening mystery at once en -grossing and heartbreaking. ST

Call Tammy or Christine for a friendly tour.

First a little history: After theBritish left the port of Mom-basa, Kenya still exported cof-fee and tea. Regardless of all

the hype and pride people there have,it looked to us like small town that fellfrom an ancient sky.

Indians settled to work in Mom-basa, so it is 95 percent Hindu and 5percent Moslem. We visited a veryornate Hindu temple. There are twoworshiping halls, one for men and onefor women. Everyone must removetheir shoes. Leaving made for a bit ofa scramble to find the shoes one camein with.

Hindus pray twice a day. Tile paint-ings, not unlike our Stations of theCross, line the walls of the main hall.They colorfully and graphically warnof the consequences of bad behaviors,including the eating of meat.

Mombasa brags a monument madefrom two crossed metal elephant tuskserected in 1963 at the Oruro Gardens.Traveling on in our tour bus, we crosseda bridge. The ferries were jammed.The park where we stopped featuredtwo main trees, the baobab tree, whichwas discovered by an Englishman,and a mumbouto tree. Mumboutomeans a big tree. It sheds its leaves.The fruit can be eaten after breakingthe shell. The small berries are sourand can be boiled to make sauces forfish or meat or added to soup. Some-times they add it to egg yolk to make ashampoo. We bought bracelets in thewoodcarving village on a Sunday.

Coming and going on roads thatwould be condemned here, the mostdepressing thing we noted was thelifestyle of the non-starving Africans.These are not the horror pictures ofAngelina Jolie among the sick. It’s thesimple life of those who spend theirdays subsisting by hauling water ontheir heads and growing and gatheringfood from patches of land near theirlean-to homes. Parts of the country-side look like the pictures one sees ofHaiti before the earthquake. There areno old people because in some places,with 75 percent unemployment, thelife expectancy is 35 years. They die

from dust, pollution, poor nutrition,and smoking. (Guess who supplies allthe cigarettes.)

Returning through Mombasa, wewere reminded how small the cars are.Angled parking is provided in themedium strips instead of near theshops. Hibiscus plants flower every-where. The streets were jammed withpoor people. None nearly as poor ordestitute as in Zanzibar.

I had to rely on my husband for theZanzibar experience. The sea was sochoppy and the tide so low that I could-n’t manage the high, swerving woodensteps out of the tender. He pho-tographed the startling memorial ofthree slaves in a pit. Very disturbing. Hewandered through the meat and fishmarket but resisted the spices in thespice market. Many people purchasedvanilla, which here is the size of agreen bean.

In this Third World and beyond,unemployment is 75 percent. Informalbusinesses are basically begging. Beg-gars swarmed the docks with sad talesof their loved ones’ needs. My hus-band bought T-shirts. Mine says, “Iclimbed Mt. Kilimanjaro” (fat chance)and the other says “Hakuna Matata,”which means, “no worries here.” Sincethe place was crawling with bacteria,TB, and yellow fever, I think the logois somewhat overstated. Disney pickedit up for their Zanzibar movie. Theyeven spelled it right. ST

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrotelong ago, “No man ever for-got the visitation of that po -wer in his heart and brain

which created all things…”This is the reason I cannot be an

atheist. I cannot forget the visitationsof the Lord to me when I was just achild. I cannot forget all the times Hehas made Himself real to me.

Yet, I must tell you that I do not tryto convert anyone. Jesus told Peter andJames, his two fishermen disciples, “Iwill make you fishers of men,” but I donot think that meant He expected themto go out and try to convert everyonelike we try to do in revivals.

Revivals were times of terror to mewhen I was a child. Most evangelistswould hold us over hell and try to scareus into accepting Christ. I always thoughtit was very much unlike Christ. I onlyremember one evangelist, Uncle BudRobinson, who made me want to bea Christian.

I remember one who really lovedto scare people and laughed about it.God has nothing to do with this kindof foolishness. Jesus said, “Behold. Istand at the door and knock. If any manopen the door I will come in and supwith him and he with me.” In otherwords, accept me for the great joys itwill bring you. Accept me for the fel-lowship we can have.

I love atheists. I regret that they donot know Him but most of those I haveknown have been honest. Religion aspresented by churchdom just does notinterest or attract them. To tell the truth,a lot of it does not attract me. My favoriteChristians have been beautifully un -orthodox. Emerson was unorthodox.He was so unorthodox he quit theUnitarian ministry! Still, he wrote “noman can forget the visitations of thatpower which created all things.

The bottom line to me is that thosewho do not believe cannot be intro-duced to God until they are interested.It does not mean you are not spiritual ifno one shows an interest in your spiritu-ality. Maybe they have not experiencedall the disbelief they want to experience.Everything has to run its course.

Are we to witness to people? Yes,when they show an interest. “Be readyto give any man an answer for the hopethat lies within you.” I do not think youcan bulldoze anyone to Christ.

The main thing we can do is to havefaith that they will experience whatEmerson talked about. God appears toall men. Everyone is going to feel those“visitations of the power that createdall things.” The thing that grieves me isto think of all the joy they are missingby not responding to those visitations.

I do know of one case where a friendthought those visitations were just nor-mal human highs. Spirit works throughnormal human highs for the simple rea-son that we are human. Yet, I am surean honest person can tell when God isin something. “The Spirit bears witnesswith our spirit that we are the childrenof God.”

All I can say is enjoy your spiritualpractice and if someone shows an inter-est in it, respond to their interest. Knowthat we all are forever in the care of aloving heavenly Father/Mother God. ST
