Sleigh Bells Ring and We’re Listening—TogetherDear Readers,

Hum it, sing it or just nod your

head as the music plays “Sleigh Bells Ring” or “The First Noel. ” Like most of the old Christmas songs and carols, they are familiar within the first few notes. These are songs of the season, a part of our common culture. For decades Christmas carols and songs have start-ed filling the air before we finished off the Halloween candy. We may not admit it, but we welcome the return of seasonal music, even if the calendar says we have several weeks to go before Dec. 25, because we crave the sense of community the songs bring. The songs are a part of cultural rituals we are drawn toward. Whether your favorite holiday song features a warbling chorus of Peanuts characters accompanied by a toy piano or a pitch-perfect boys’ choir accompanied by a Steinway, the songs of the season have a way of bringing us together, particularly in Western culture, says Jeffrey Sharkey, Director of the Peabody Institute at The Johns Hopkins University. Carols have a particular place in people’s hearts because they are one of the rituals of the season. Maybe one of the most important rituals, it turns out. Sharkey says, “We take comfort in ritual, in hearing familiar songs, familiar melodies expressing familiar sentiments at a particular time of

year. It is something that both brings us together and binds us together.” Ask Dr. Ruth Westheimer, iconic radio sex therapist, about the binding quality of common music. In a seminar about Jewish music, I heard her relate the story of her childhood when her father was taken away by SS soldiers at age 10. Her mother and grandmother, realizing the dangers in Germany, put the young Ruth aboard an evacuation train full of children headed for Switzerland. On that train fi lled with children newly ripped from their families, the young Ruth took charge. She said she realized the one way to bring them together was to sing their common songs. So she began singing the songs they had learned at school. One by one the children of all ages stopped crying and began singing along, even as the train took them farther away from families. Singing together the familiar songs served to fi ll them with courage to face the unknown that lay ahead. How is it that familiar songs bind us together? Songs like “Silent Night” and “Deck the Halls” are anchors to our past experiences. They provide guideposts for the season. Hearing those fi rst few familiar notes of “Joy to the World” frees us up to recognize the season and enjoy a common set of memories. Researchers say singing and listening to familiar songs creates a synergy with others, an “acting out” of familiar thoughts or beliefs. As

we share in hearing or singing our common holiday songs, we feel a sense of belonging to community, to a larger circle of people.

Today schools and offi ces and communities are cowering under threats tied to the traditions and rituals of American Christmas. We are told that someone might be offended by a song or something with the word Christmas in it. Traditionally, Americans heard the same songs on the radio and TV as well as at school, church, club meet-ings and community gatherings. No longer. We are losing a common bond and a cultural identity that serves a good purpose, the very thing young Dr. Ruth Westheimer understood amid a trainload of frightened children. In a world of fast changes and commercialism, it seems we might need the common music of the season more than ever. Be sure you fi nd a way to share those traditional carols and songs! Sing out!

Santa Jim willingly obliged. “Santa is a lifter-upper,” he adds. “I often find that adults will come up next to me and tell me they are depressed. They just want to have a hug and stand close, and I give them love.” As Christmas draws closer, parents dress their children up and bring them to visit Santa with toy requests and for the photo op. Sleds, Betsy Wetsy dolls, Tinker Toys – all are toys of the past, and Santa must be prepared. Starting in August, Santa Jim begins visiting toy stores, doing his homework. “I look at and examine and know what toys and electronics are going to be hot this year so when a child asks for it, I know what it is and can pronounce it correctly.” “Children used to be most interested in what they could get for Christmas. In the last three or four years, more and more children have been asking for things for someone else,” says Santa R.G. “That’s the true spirit of Christmas.”

If a child asks for a pink pony, Santa Jim says, “We never say no.” He laughs a hearty laugh and adds, “You never know what a parent can do for a child.” Or, according to Santa R.G.: “Promise nothing, but nourish hope.” “In my heart I get a very big kick out of being Santa.” Santa Jim just plain looks like Santa whether wearing his robes or not and knows going

out to eat any time of year means being spoken

to 14 or 15 times by both children and adults. If an adult says “I still believe in you, Santa,” Heichelbech may respond by encouraging them to always keep the spirit of Santa alive. “I try to give an act of love, like a handshake. If the other person initiates it, I will give a hug.”

Santa University Both Santas hone their craft year-round. Last summer they were at Noerr Pole, headquarters for The Noerr Programs and training center for Santa University in Arvida, Colorado. The company places Santas in over 165 malls in 37 states. The 4-day program assisted more than 80 naturally bearded Santas in all things Santa-related. Physical stamina is important, for example, and so is being ever mindful of their alter-ego. Santa Jim teaches an ethics class, giving help for avoiding possible sticky situations. Santa must be

aware that digital media can capture a moment anywhere and bad mo-ments can go viral. “You have to be cognizant of what you’re doing at all times, even in the off-season. Santa doesn’t go where he shouldn’t be, and he doesn’t do what he shouldn’t do. And both of Santa’s hands are visible in every picture.” Santas are taught to check every e-mail twice to make sure what they are writing is appropriate.

Many practical tips come with the university as well. Examples: Parents always lift the child onto Santa’s lap (it spares his back). Too hot in the Santa robes? Special vests are avail-able with pockets to hold cooler packs. And so when Virginia sees love and generosity and devotion, she would do well to look closely to see if it might be Santa Jim or Santa R.G. If so, she will always have reason to BELIEVE!

“Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly

as love and generosity and devotion exist… Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus!”

That iconic answer by a newspaper editor to a little girl’s question about Santa in 1897 is happily lived out every day of every year by two West Central Florida men. Virginia would find both the appearance and spirit of Santa in Jim Heichelbech, 87, of Arcadia (on our front cover) and Santa R.G. Holland, 67, of Inverness. The Christmas season finds the two men appearing daily in hand-some Santa robes (costumes).

Santa R.G. says, “I don’t play the role of Santa. I assume his personnae of generosity, kindness and caring.” Santa Jim is at Burlington Mall near Boston this year. His appearances began November 1 and will finish at 6 pm Christmas Eve. The retired execu-tive says, “I don’t know any position that allows me to do the things Santa does. I have an obligation that God has given me… to give people love. I bring happiness to so many. I figure I’ve been Santa for over a million and a half people in 57 years.” A 94-year-old lady visited him with a group from a nursing home. She said, “I’ve never sat on Santa’s lap before. Can I sit on your lap?”

Santa R.G. Holland spreads Christmas cheer.

A Horse Is a Horse, Of Course—Especially In OcalaBY JANICE DOYLE

“Our museum is unique,” says Tammy Gantt, Membership

Services Director of the Florida Thor-oughbred Breeders’ & Owners’ As-sociation (FTBOA). Gantt coordinates the Florida Thoroughbred Museum and Art Gallery that contains one-of-a-kind originals depicting Florida’s champions and art work that comes from some of the horse world’s leading artists. You can learn more when Gantt teaches the class “Horse in the World of Art” for the Master the Possibilities program this month. Her passion for horses started as a baby when she crawled into a pasture and began swinging on a horse’s tail. By age 11, she told her parents she wanted to go into horse racing. At age 13 she tricked her family into taking her to a horse racing facility and then sneaked in and began placing bets while her parents drove away with her also-underage sib-lings not realizing she wasn’t with them.

Today Gantt lives among horse racing’s best as she gathers local horse history memorabilia for the museum, where, she says, “You’re not just looking at trophies for win-ning races.” Among the collection is the trophy won by Needles in 1956 when he became the first Florida-bred horse to win the Kentucky Derby. Memorabilia and photos show connections by well-known people such as George Steinbren-nar’s connection to the local racing world. See a speeding ticket issued to the horse Dr. Fager as he was being returned to Florida, a gimmick to draw attention to Florida horse racing when Dr. Fager set the world record as the fastest horse in a mile. The art gallery set out 10 years ago to collect works from equine artists such as Sharon Crute, and Gantt is continuing the effort. Rotating exhibits of famous artists have included a 2013 spring exhibition of work by Derick Gores, the 2013 Kentucky Derby and Oaks collage artist.

“We also began having farm tours and that brings people into the office who see art as another aspect of the horse industry,” says Gantt. Each exhibition artist either donates a piece of work for the gallery or donates a portion of proceeds to Florida Thor-oughbred Charity which supports a scholarship program as well as a Thor-oughbred racehorse retirement farm for 42 Thoroughbred champions, two of which were million dollar horses.

Gantt says, “The farm is not just a farm. We have partnered with the Department of Correc-tions in a program for inmates who can become equine certified and work on area horse farms when they are released from incarceration.” Of 80 students (inmates) who have gone through the program, only two have gone back to prison. In her work with the art gallery, Gantt found a natural transition to teaching the “Horse in the World of Art” class (and others having to

do with horse racing) at On Top of the World’s Master the Possibilities Center. Free self guided museum and gallery tours are available Monday through Friday, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm,closed noon to one for lunch. Dona-tions accepted for the charities. Gantt’s class is Monday, December 9, 11 am to noon at Master the Pos-sibilities, 8415 SW 80th St, Ocala. Info is online or at 352-854-3600.

CHARITABLE GIVING THROUGH INDIVIDUAL

RETIREMENT ACCOUNTSIRA ROLLOVERIf you are over age 70½, the Federal government permits you to rollover up to $100,000 from your IRA to All Children’s Hospital Foundation without increasing your taxable income or paying any additional tax. These tax-free rollover gifts could be $1,000, $10,000 or any amount up to $100,000 this year. The gift satisfies your RMD for this year.

IRA OPTIONSFuture IRA Gift OptionsWhile you have the opportunity to give through your IRA now, there are other options available for making future gifts from your IRA account to All Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Bequest of IRAOne option is to designate a All Children’s Hospital Foundation as the beneficiary of your IRA. This permits you to continue to take withdrawals from your IRA during life and then leave the remaining value of your IRA to All Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Testamentary IRA Gift AnnuityAnother option would be to use your will to fund a gift annuity with your IRA. The annuity will provide your family with income for their life or a number of years and will also provide a nice gift to All Children’s Hospital Foundation.

Testamentary IRA UnitrustYou could also use your will to transfer your IRA to a special “Give it Twice” trust. These trusts usually provide income to children for up to 20 years. Once all the income has been paid to family, the remainder of the trust is given to All Children’s Hospital Foundation.

SIMPLE, EASY GIFTIf you are like many individuals, your IRA has increased in value over the years and you have more income than you may need. The IRA rollover gift is a simple and easy way to provide for All Children’s Hospital Foundation while not increasing your taxable income. Simply contact your custodian and request that an amount be transferred to All Children’s. Charity receives a nice gift and you avoid any additional tax and satisfy your RMD for the year.

MAKE A MAJOR GIFTPerhaps you are considering your tax planning goals and would like to make a major gift to charity. Like many individuals, your IRA may be the largest asset in your estate. Your CPA may be looking for ways to save taxes. By making an IRA charitable rollover gift of up to $100,000, you can reach your goal of helping charity in a significant way and reducing your taxable income.

Veterans Corner

Willie, Joe and Bill in WWII. Bill Mauldin, one of America’s favor-

ite cartoonists, travelled through Europe with the “grunts,” the GIs. Through Mauldin’s characters—Willie and Joe—soldiers saw themselves as they lived on the front lines through his cartoons in Stars and Stripes. A civilian audi-ence back home got an idea of what life was like for soldiers when his popular cartoons ran in their local papers. The end of Mauldin’s life story is a grand tribute to the muddy, exhausted whisker-stubbled infantrymen who fought. These were the men who came home, worked, raised families and lived their lives with what they’d seen and experienced during the war. During the late summer of 2002, as Mauldin lay in a California nursing home, some of the old World War II infantry guys caught wind of it. They didn’t want Mauldin to go out that way—alone. They thought he should know he was still their hero. Gordon Dillow, a columnist for the Orange County Register, put out the call in Southern California for people in the area to send their best wishes to Mauldin. Others helped spread the appeal nationally. Soon, more than 10,000 cards and letters had arrived at Mauldin’s bedside. Better than that, old soldiers began to show up just to sit with Mauldin, to let him know that they were there for him, as he, so long ago, had been there on the front lines for them. So many volunteered to visit Bill that there was a waiting list. Here is how Todd DePastino, in the first paragraph of his biography of Mauldin, described it: “Almost every day in the summer and fall of 2002 they came to Park Superior

nursing home in Newport Beach, California, to honor Army Sergeant, Technician Third Grade, Bill Mauldin. They came bearing relics of their youth: medals, insignia, photographs and care-fully folded newspaper clippings. Some wore old garrison caps. Others arrived re-splendent in uniforms over a half century old. Almost all of them wept as they filed down the corridor like pilgrims fulfilling some long-neglected obligation.” One of the veterans explained: “You would have to be part of a

combat infantry unit to appreciate what moments of relief Bill gave us. You had to be reading a soaking wet Stars and Stripes in a water-filled foxhole and then see one of his cartoons.” Mauldin is buried in Arlington National Cemetery. In 2010 he made it onto a first-class postage stamp. It’s an honor that most generals and admirals never receive. What Mauldin would have loved most is the sight of the two guys who keep him company on that

stamp. There’s Willie. There’s Joe. And there, to the side, drawing them and smiling that shy, quietly observant smile, is Mauldin himself. With his bud-dies, right where he belongs. Forever. He won two Pulitzer Prizes, and he should have won a third for what may be the single greatest editorial cartoon in the history of the craft: On the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, he drew the statue at the Lincoln Memorial slumped in grief, its head cradled in its hands. He was still Mauldin, the enlisted man.

5 Tips for Stress Free Festivities

Here it comes. That time of year when family drama can get you

down! Options? You can leave town, hope your relatives have changed or face it all with a plan not to get over-stressed. Deanna Braun says there are some ways to build a foundation for a happy holiday, even with relatives you don’t always see eye-to-eye with. Here are five tips for (nearly) stress free festivities:

• Be a team player – Regardless of who is hosting, compliment, ask questions, offer help, be interested.• Don’t take things personally – During the holidays, you can be certain it’s not all about you.• Find the humor – Look at what happens as a great story to tell later about what she did “this” time.

• Find some down time – Reflect and re-energize to get your energy back.• Establish ground rules in advance – Talk to your companion and agree on how long to stay or take two cars. Let your family know what time you plan to leave so there’s no “But I thought…” about meals or activities. Relax. Nothing lasts forever.

Contrary to Popular Belief…

BY MARK PILARSKI

Dear Mark: I mostly play slot machines. It seems on weekends

they pay less than if I come mid-week. Does the casino have the ability to change the payback percentages on all their machines at will when the casino is busier? I was told by a slot machine employee that the $1 machines I normally play on return 95 percent of the money played. Am I wrong to believe that when I show up on a busy weekend that the casino has already made changes to the percentage payback? —Marge G.

One of the most widely held falsehoods in casino gambling is that casinos take a screwdriver to tighten their slots machines on weekends, Christian holidays, the Las Vegas Elvis Festival (July 10 – 13, 2014), or whenever it’s busy. Every slot machine has a built-in “payback” percentage set by the casino and ap-proved by that state’s gaming commission. So if the casino wanted to re-set that percentage, they would have to tender a proposal to the gaming commission. That said, I would be remiss if I didn’t state that altering a slot payoff percent-age can physically be done. To change the return of the slot machine, all a slot manager would have to do is exchange the EPROM chip within. However, again, the change must be reported to that state’s powers-that-be. Exchanging hundreds, even thousands of EPROM chips along with the paperwork required to report the changes would be a whole lot of work for the casino to complete sandwiched between Thursday and Friday. Readers, e-mail me if any of you have ever seen this across-the-board swap done. I haven’t. Also, Marge, you might be a little confused as to exactly what “payback percentages” means when it comes to “your” play. A 95 percent payback slot machine will pay 95 percent

of the money back over time, but that doesn’t mean that if you put in $100, you are guaranteed a return of $95. It only means that the machine is set to pay back 95 percent over the machine’s extended gambling timeline, which is months, even years; not your brief four-hour stay. Rather than “payback percentage,” which can be misleading, I much prefer the term “theoretical payout percentage” because the payout return is a calculated number based on an “infinite” number of pulls of the handle. In the meantime, each spin

of the reels remains a random independent event.

Dear Mark: When looking over the multitude of blackjack variations, what are some of the better rules that I should be looking for and what are some of the worst? —Marty D.

When it comes to the disparity of rules in blackjack from casino

to casino, and even pit to pit, it is essential to know which rules are more significant than others, and which ones are unfavorable to you the player. These are the key rules that are most favorable to the player in rank of importance.• Early surrender.• Doubling on any two cards.• Drawing any number of cards to

split Aces.• Doubling allowed after pair splitting.• Surrender. In order, here, Marty, are the rules that are most hostile to players.• Two or more decks.• Dealer that hits a soft 17.• No soft doubling.• No re-splitting of Aces(SENIOR WIRE)

Q. I’ve been losing some hair, which is no surprise for an old lady, but

I was wondering if there’s anything I can do to hold onto what I have.

A: Alopecia is the medical term for hair loss. Androgenetic Alopecia, or pattern baldness, is the most common type of alopecia; it affects about one-third of us. I’m in that third with you. Men start to get pattern baldness at the hairline and crown. This can lead to complete baldness. Women’s hair loss is usually limited to thin-ning; they rarely go totally bald.

There are a few steps you can take to preserve your hair:

1. Avoid tight hairstyles that pull on the hair. So, forget braids, ponytails, cornrows and tight hair rollers. The pulling causes some hair loss, especially along the sides of the scalp. This type of hair loss is called traction alopecia. If the pulling scars the scalp, it can cause permanent hair loss.

2. Brushing or combing too much can break hair, so keep them to a minimum. Use combs with wide teeth and brushes with smooth tips. Wet hair is more fragile than dry hair, so show care when you do your hair after a shower.

3. Shampooing too often is bad for your hair. Use a cream rinse or conditioner after shampooing to make it easier to comb. And don’t dry your hair by rubbing it with a towel.

4. Don’t use hot-oil hair treatments or chemicals in permanents.These may cause inflammation of the hair follicles, which can lead to hair loss. There are about 100,000 hairs in the average scalp. About 100 hairs are lost from your head every day. Each individual hair survives for an average of 4 1/2 years and grows about a half inch a month. In its fifth year, the hair usually falls out and is replaced within six months by a new one. We lose hair as we age. Pattern baldness affects many more men

than women. About 25 percent of men begin to bald by the time they are 30 years old, and about two-thirds have at least a balding pattern by age 60. Androgenetic alopecia is caused by heredity; a history of it on either side of your family increases your risk of balding. Medicines may help slow or prevent the develop-ment of common baldness. Rogaine is available

without a prescription. It is applied to the scalp. Both men and women can use it. Propecia is available with a prescription. It comes in pills and is only for men. It may take up to six months before you can tell if one of these medicines is working. Hair transplants and scalp reduc-tion surgery are available to treat androgenetic alopecia when more conservative measures have failed. During transplantation a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon takes tiny plugs of skin, each containing one to several hairs, from the back or side of your scalp. The plugs are then implanted into the bald sections. Scalp reduction, as the name implies, means decreasing the area of bald skin on your head.

The Healthy GeezerBY FRED CICETTI


Six Foods That May Help Win the Blood Pressure BattleIn the United States more than 77

million adults have been diagnosed with high blood pressure, which can cause heart disease and stroke. In Food Technology magazine, Linda Milo Ohr noted six foods shown in studies to have a beneficial effecton lowering blood pressure.

Grape Seed Extract: Grape seed extract may help lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure after just eight weeks. Grape seed extract is derived from the ground-up seeds of red wine grapes. There’s strong evidence that grape seed extract is, in fact, beneficial for a number of cardiovascular conditions, including circulation (chronic venous insufficiency) and high cholesterol.

Nuts: One study showed that 56 g of walnuts a day reduced systolic

blood pressure and did not lead to weight gain. Walnuts not only taste great but are a rich source of heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids. In addition, they are an excellent source of vitamin E and an important B-complex group of vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B-6, and folates They also are a rich source of necessary minerals.

Beetroot Juice: Beetroot juice contains dietary nitrate which may help relax blood vessel walls and improve blood flow. Through a chain reaction, the body converts the nitrates in beet juice into nitric oxide, a compound that enhances blood flow throughout the body and helps lower blood pressure. A study showed that a cup of beetroot juice a day may help lower

systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Recent research is placing beet juice right up there nutritionally with salmon and blueberries.

Dairy Foods: Several studies have showed that a diet with more dairy and nuts,

but less meat, is related to a lower risk of develop-

ing hypertension and associated with having lower systolic blood pressure. Milk is a source of many nutrients including potassium, magnesium and calcium, all of which have also been linked to lowering blood pressure. Milk also contains peptides (break-down product of milk proteins) which lower systolic and diastolic pressures. The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet shows a diet containing fruit and vegetables, low-fat dairy products and reduced salt intake lowers blood pressure within two weeks of starting the diet.

Raisins: Researchers eating raisins showed a significantly reduced systolic blood pressure. The study did not identify how raisins lower blood pressure. However, what is known is that raisins are high in potassium and have fiber, polyphenols, phenolic acid, tannins and antioxidants.

Flaxseed: Dietary flaxseed (30 g daily) has been shown to lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure in subjects with narrowed arteries (peripheral artery disease) as well as lowering cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol. Various flaxseed preparations—including ground flaxseed, partially defatted flaxseed,and flaxseed bread and muffins—seem to significantly reduce total cholesterol and the “bad cholesterol,” low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, in some people. But flaxseed doesn’t have much effect on “good cholesterol,” high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. (Newswise and other sources)

ReseaRch is hope – Dispelling the Myths about Clinical TrialsAccording to the National Cancer Institute, there

are over 12 million cancer survivors in the United States, and almost two million of them have survived for 20 years or longer. The reason cancer survival rates have dramatically increased over the past two decades can be traced directly to clinical trials.

The cures for various types of cancer will all come from clinical research, yet not many adult cancer patients participate in clinical trials. Why? Many times it is because clinical trials are misunderstood and patients fear being “a guinea pig”. In clinical trials for a life-threatening disease like cancer, no one who participates in a clinical trial is ever treated like a guinea pig. In fact, such great precautions are taken on behalf of patients who participate in clinical trials that, most often, their cancer treatment is actually superior to standard care protocols.

What is a Clinical Trial?Clinical trials are research studies in which patients help doctors find ways to improve cancer care and assess new therapies and treatments for the disease. Each study tries to answer scientific questions and

to find better ways to prevent, diagnose, or treat cancer. Some clinical trials may involve a novel approach or new drug for treating a particular type of cancer, while others may focus on improving an already-promising therapy.

Understanding the Myths Aside from the misunderstanding about being a guinea pig, patients who are considering participating in a clinical trial for cancer are often concerned that they might be given a placebo or a drug that will prove to be ineffective. The truth is that in some types of clinical trials (specifically those that are investigating something simple such as a new cold medication) some participants are given only a placebo. However, in clinical trials for cancer, a participant is never given anything less than the current standard of care.

Participating in a Clinical TrialAll participants in oncologic clinical trials will be given the best treatment available for their particular type of cancer… then in addition to that standard treatment, they may be given either a new drug that is being tested or a placebo. No participant is ever given a placebo alone. According to the American Cancer Society, there are over 850 promising new drugs and therapies undergoing research currently. The average time for a new drug to be approved is seven years and many times clinical trials cannot be conducted because of a lack of patient participation. If more cancer patients participated in clinical trials, there would be more new drugs available sooner in the future. Don’t miss the opportunity to be a part of finding the cures for cancer.

Two of the top three cancer advances determined by the American Society of

Clinical Oncology (ASCO) for 2012 were available through clinical trials at Florida Cancer Specialists.

Tips to Avoid Online Dating ScamsOnline dating scams have become

so sophisticated that anyone can be easily duped these days. Use these resources, compiled by USA.gov to prevent an online dating scam before it happens to you:• An online love interest who asks you for money is most certainly a scam artist. They start by proclaim-ing their love, in hopes of gaining interest and trust as quickly as they can. Often, they want to interact with you over personal accounts rather than the online dating site, to get more personal information about you.• In many instances, scammers will say they are American, but are

working or traveling abroad. They may then say that a traumatic incident has happened in their life and they

need some money to get home, or to visit you. The State Depart-ment strongly discourages sending money to someone you don’t person-ally know.

• The FBI also warns of another scam in which a con artist turns a conversation

intimate and then threatens to post theconversation and intimate information online, saying you can only get out of it if you pay them, even with no assurance that they will actually dowhat they say.

Hybrid Cars a Status Symbol of Sorts for SeniorsSeniors are paying extra bucks to “go

green” in a hybrid car. Researchers say seniors found satisfaction not only in vehicle purchase but in future savings on gasoline expenses. “The findings sug-gest that older consumers are concerned about how they appear to others when driving a hybrid car,” the researchers wrote. “They believe that driving a hybrid car builds a positive self-image

of the people who drive them.” In marketing, that means people may be willing to pay an extra $5,000 or so in order to think, ‘I’m great, and this is good for the environment.’” Previous research has shown that older consumers are more inclined to behave in a pro-environment way than younger people are, he said. Information from Newswise.

DR. BILL THOMAS

Human infants, adorable as they may be, have no story, no past,

no loves gained and lost, no triumphs and no acquaintance with grief. Those fortunate enough to reach elderhood, however, possess all these things in abundance. Elders spend a lifetime ex-changing newborn perfection for some-thing infinitely more valuable—a story. Nowadays, we have unprecedented opportunity to think about and choose between many different narrative arcs for our own life story. Unfortu-nately, as people approach midlife and beyond, the kinds of clear-cut cultural signals that stimulate growth and change become far less common. The false belief that aging equals decline, combined with the lack of

cultural direction, leads millions of people to become stuck. These limbo episodes make it much more difficult to continue the story of our lives. One way to approach this problem is known as the “midlife crisis.” Some respond to the growing need for change by moving; others by adopting much less sensible tactics which embrace adolescent fantasies (most famously cars and younger sexual partners) during midlife.

What is a midlife crisis? A midlife crisis is the consequence of our changing relationship with memories of our younger self. Those memories form the foundation of our identity, and we normally suppose them to be fixed and unalterable. In fact, they are subject to a nearly constant but unconscious process of revision. As we move past midlife, the memories of our youth become more distant, and in the press of daily responsibility, they are recalled less frequently.

Dr. Judah Ronch describes the results of this process: The more remote an unused memory gets, or the more you retrieve it without strengthening it by real ex-perience, the more memories of youth change to conform to contemporary experience. If the major activity that our memories of self gets is reminisc-ing, rather than doing and storing new experiences, then memories of self become less and less about the person and more about the memories. Our youth-obsessed culture places a premium on maintaining an authenti-cally youthful self-identity. Living life as a harried adult makes it increasingly difficult to maintain such an identity. The much-maligned balding man with the too-young girlfriend is actu-ally engaged in a reconstruction project. He is trying to maintain the authenticity of his memories, and therefore his self, by rejoining them with real-life experiences.

What to do Fortunately there is an effective approach to solving the developmental difficulties that arise in late adulthood. Instead of attempting to reanimate memories of youth, we can revisit our past with an eye toward understanding the person we might yet become. We can reject the dominant cul-tural narrative of loss and decline and embrace instead a personal narrative or story based on growth and change. We can design an approach to life beyond adulthood that restores to us, in its mature form, the experience

of living with many “possible lives” in front of us. Best of all, there is no sports car required.

From “Second Wind: Navigating the Passage to a Slower, Deeper and more Connected Life” by Dr. Bill Thomas.

Does a Mid-Life Crisis Require a Sports Car?

Zero. Nada. Nothing.
