Volunteers Make a Difference at Cape Coral HospitalBY JANICE DOYLE

Doctors work hard to get their patients

out of the hospital for the holidays. They know how depressed patients can become in a hospital bed, even if the kitchen staff serves turkey dinner and the staff puts up a Christ-mas tree in the lobby. Jack Hess is a long-time volunteer at the Cape Coral Hospital, a part of the Lee Memorial Health System. He knows that vol-unteers make a difference every day, but especially during the holidays. Hess, past president of the hospital auxiliary, says volunteers deliver a single carnation in a bud vase to each patient on Christmas Day, along with words of cheer. Many volunteers who may not have company coming or whose families have other commit-

ments are happy to work on Christmas Day serving the patients. All throughout the year, hospital volunteers are very visible, according to Hess. “We’re not as in a hurry as the day-to-day staff. They have their tasks to do. We’re

in the hospital to make the patient’s stay as comfortable as possible and to comfort visitors and family. In the hallways, if visitors are lost, we take them where they need to go instead of just pointing them in a general direction.” Hess is a retired Publix store manager and learned when he retired that he still wanted to be useful dealing with the public. He says he and his wife found that

“being together 24/7 once she retired made too much togetherness.” People begin volunteering for various reasons. For Hess, it was while visiting a patient and interact-ing with several volunteers that he realized hospital volunteering was the kind of interaction he wanted. “My background was working with people, and that’s what I love.” Volunteering brings great rewards. Hess describes such rewarding times as when he volunteered in the emer-gency room and a distraught elderly woman drove up with her husband who was having chest pains. It was easy for him to imagine the scene. Hess says, “At home men wouldn’t want to call the ambulance and so they’d say ‘You can drive; don’t call the ambulance. You drive me there.’ We came outside with the wheelchair and I could see the relief on their faces to have someone to help them.” After six years as a volunteer, Hess has nothing but praise for the Cape

Coral Hospital and has found that the hospital staff and the members of the Foundation are “good people trying to do good for people.” The Cape Coral Hospital Auxil-iary runs three businesses to raise funds: the gift shop, a uniform shop and a thrift shop across the street from the hospital. Hess has put his retail experi-ence back to work managing the uniform shop. Auxiliary volunteers can have patient interaction by working in the hospital or they can choose retail shops for their service. “It diversifies what volunteers can do,” says Hess. “Vol-unteering is also a social outlet for retirees who want to be in the public. They get one meal free meal and during lunch, the tables fill up with volunteers who enjoy a social time.” For information on volunteering at any of Lee Memorial Health System’s facilities, go to leememorial.org/volunteer or call (239) 343-5055.

Dear Readers,

My trusty Bulova watch stopped in

November, 2010. It was a sleek little number, with a gold rectangular face I’d grown accus-tomed to. The narrow black leather-look band was feminine and accentuated my thin wrists (which are the only part of my body I can call thin). I’d bought that little gem on a sale table for $13 in 1997 because another lady looking at the watches raved about it. She picked it up and said to no one in particular that it was the “classiest” watch on the table. I have very little flair about such things, so I snapped it up the second she laid it back on the table. Classy, I wanted! The watch became my all-in-one accessory piece, and I wore it daily. Admittedly, as the years passed and my vision changed, I learned how to angle my wrist so I could read the time. “Where is that min-ute hand?” I would ask myself. Still I never considered getting rid of it and replaced the band many times. When it stopped last year, I went totally out of character—I told my family that the only thing on my Christmas list was a watch. I even encouraged them to have fun with that request, to go a little crazy if they chose to. It seemed a ‘no-brainer’ for all concerned. Watches, after all, are easy to find, come in all price ranges and make an uncomplicated package. From my point of view, watches don’t take up much room and could even be re-gifted. I might even learn to like changing things up a bit! Reactions varied. My step-daughter Whitney is a discriminating, thought-ful and creative gift-giver. She didn’t particularly like the idea that everyone would be getting me watches. To her, it meant if she got me one and other

people did too, her gift wouldn’t be so special. (Instead, she gave me my all-time favorite pink knit robe.) From my two daughters-in-law, I do believe I heard an audible sigh of relief when I told them. This would be easy, I imagined them thinking—check off the mother-in-law gift at the first store! So the word went out, and I sat back to see how people interpreted my wish.

It was great fun! I got a whimsical frog watch which I especially love wearing when I’m going to be with children. There was a unique red one—a large, round red watch face with the letters spelling out Liz Claiborne where the numbers would be (advertising and style all in one!) A very utilitarian LL Bean watch gives me time and date and is even waterproof. Two others are ordinary inexpensive watches to slip on quickly when I’m in a hurry. They are meaningful because they represent a decision, a choice about what Janice would like, and that makes them special. I didn’t hear my dear husband David’s actual sigh of relief at being given a gift idea, but I’m sure there was one. His watch came first, as my early December birthday gift.

It, too, has a rectangular face, only this one is surrounded by tiny diamonds and has a lovely gold band. The perfect gift, lovingly chosen. This year? I’ve spread the word that I’m collecting scarves—bright, jewel-colored scarves. Let the shopping begin! And, yes, it’s that season again! We remember Christmases past, enjoy the seasonal music and look forward to being with friends

and family perhaps. One of my Christmas memories almost seems unreal. I wonder if I would react the same way today. This would have been in the ‘70s when my three children were small. A young family’s car broke down on a highway near our house on Christmas Eve and a neighbor called to see if we could help them. Two young parents—very broke—were traveling from Illinois to Texas with a three-week-old baby named Elvis. Calls were made. Our church provided them a motel room for two nights. We picked them up for Christmas dinner with us. A parent wired money for their car repair the next day and they went

on their way to family. I sometimes wonder what happened to baby Elvis. It reminds me of that other and fa-miliar story of a baby far from home with his young parents. The difference is that I don’t know what happened to baby Elvis, but I do know what hap-pened to the other baby, the one born some 2000 years ago. That was the baby whose life changed the world. The reason for the season! Blessings!

FULL SPECTRUMOF TREATMENT


BY TERESA AMBORD

Not much money for Christmas presents this year? That might

give you the blues, but it shouldn’t. Look at this as a chance to readjust your focus. If you put your heart into it, when your family and friends look back on this holiday, it won’t be the lack of presents they remember.

Years ago, the economy was thriving, but my husband and I were in our own recession. As a young man, Mike’s temper and other habits caused him to lose job after job. We barely covered our basic expenses every month. So at Christmas time we assumed we would not be able to buy gifts for each other at all. That was our life then. One year, some friends gave us a small Christmas tree which I decorated with hand-me-down ornaments. Just before Christmas, Mike got paid and we wrote out our bills as usual. To our amazement, there was an extra 20 dollars in the bank. It wasn’t much, but to us, it felt like found wealth. We divided it, and each set out with ten dollars to spend on the other. I shopped carefully for Mike’s present, then wrapped it and hid it. Looking back, I can’t remember what I bought for him. But I’ll never forget what he gave me. A couple of days before Christmas he went shopping. He was gone a long time, then fi nally he poked his head in the front door.

“I’m going next door to wrap your presents,” he said with a huge smile. An hour later he returned, carrying a bag and wearing a Santa hat that our neighbor, Pam, had given him. He made me close my eyes while he hid the bag. The next morning Pam came over for coffee after Mike went to work. “Mike must really love you a lot,” she said. “I hope so,” I said, wondering what made her say that. “When he showed me what he bought you, he was so excited his hands were shaking. It was so sweet. I had to cut the paper for him,” she said. Pam’s words were exactly what I needed to hear. My life with Mike was so full of diffi culties that each day felt like a struggle. I knew he loved to give gifts. But I wasn’t so sure that he still loved me. Finally it was Christmas morning. As soon as the smell of coffee reached him, Mike bounded out of bed and dug in the closet. Then he appeared, carrying four small presents as if they were fi ne china. He set them in my lap, then sat on the fl oor in front of me, watching my face and waiting for my reaction.

The fi rst package held green socks—my favorite color. Happily, I put them on. Then Mike handed

me the next package, which was also socks, but red. He pulled off one of my green socks and replaced it with a red one so that I looked more Christmasy. “I got those because your feet are always cold,” he said. “And I know you love new socks.” He was right. I still love new socks. It felt good to know that, even in the chaos of our daily lives, he remem-bered the things and colors I liked best. Quickly he urged me to open the other two packages, one of which turned out to be a tube of mascara, and the other, a container of eye shadow. They were exactly what I would’ve bought for myself if I’d had a few extra dollars. The colors and brands were perfect. But I was baffl ed. Mike never paid attention to girly things like makeup. “How did you know what I wanted?” I asked. “I was almost out of both of these. And how did you know the colors and brands I like?”

“Before I left for shop-ping, I looked in your makeup bag. I wrote down what you were running low on. I know you like to have makeup and nice things. But with our money, you can never buy anything for yourself.” My mouth fell open. I pictured my tall, rough-around-the-edges husband, plodding down the makeup aisle at the drugstore looking for the things on his list. Knowing Mike, I assumed the list was written on his hand, and it was. The thought he

put into buying these things for me was amazing. No amount of money could’ve replaced that consideration.

That’s the Mike I want

to remember. He was a troubled

soul with seriously destructive habits that

took a heavy toll on our family and on his body. Because of that, he passed away too young. Our years together were tumultuous, but they weren’t all bad. Some stand out like pockets of calm in a long storm. For me that Christmas, it boiled down to one thing. Mike knew me. He could have bought any old thing. Instead he went to great effort to see me smile when I opened his packages. That was the true gift. That was 26 years ago. But today when I think of Mike, that Christmas is the memory I choose. Whether or not money is short this Christmas, our extravagances should not be in the money we spend. It should be in the thought we put into fi nding what warms the hearts of our loved ones and makes them smile down to their souls. Anyone can do that.

Veterans CornerA Day With a World War II Honor FlightHonor Flights are

flights to trans-port WWII veterans to Washington, DC to be honored at the WWII Memorial. A day spent with 75 or more of the 85- to 100-year-old vet-erans starts early and ends late and is filled with smiles, tears, old memories and new friends.4:30 a.m.: Arrive at airport where veterans and their guardians (sometimes family members) meet for a 6 a.m. departure by chartered flight to Wash-ington, DC. Veterans wear one color shirt; guardians wear another color. Washington arrival: Local volunteers cheer the group and assist in getting to chartered buses. One man, dressed in a WWII Army uniform, brought smiles with his sign “Lookin’ for Kilroy.” Remember Kilroy?

First stop: Iwo Jima Memorial for a group picture. Other stops: Arlington Cemetery, the Vietnam and Korean Memorials.

WWII Memorial: Veter-ans spend time, often telling stories as memories rush in. Many groups are personally greeted at the memorial by former U.S. Senator and Republican presidential candidate Bob Dole (a World War II veteran who received two Purple Hearts and a Bronze Star).Army Nurse Hazel Murphy sat on a rainy visit remembering her four years of duty in the Pacific.

Mail Call: Aboard the flight home, veterans open letters from a thankful nation. Letters come from school classes and friends as well as from anonymous strangers grateful to live in a free country. One seventh grader’s letter read, “Politicians say they’re going to Do It, Do It, Do It. You’re one who went out and Did It.”

In the hometown airport, hundreds of people dress in red, white and blue to celebrate their heroes.

God bless America!

How to Volunteer with Passion“If you want to feel good,

volunteer,” said Sellman, a volunteer with 16 different groups and author of the children’s book The Legend of the Wolves of Gunflint Lake. “There are few ways to feel as good about yourself as volunteering.” The key to discovering that feeling is to let your passion guide you when you decide to volunteer, she added. Her tips for beginning volunteers include:

• Choose Wisely—Many people get “roped into” volunteering for an organization because their boss or family member is involved. Those can be rewarding ways to enter volunteerism, but only if the project is a match for your personal interests. The most important aspect to volunteerism is to find what you love. Just pick the right one, and your volunteer time won’t be a chore—it will be a joy.

• Watch Your Schedule—As much as you want your passion to direct your choice of project, you don’t want those volunteer projects to rule your schedule. Most organizations will take as much time as you offer them, but if you only have an hour or two each week, they’ll take that time, too. Your volunteer life should not consume your work or home life.

• Have Fun—Helping others is its own reward, but it shouldn’t feel like a chore. Even the most mundane task can be fun if you manage it with a sense of humor and passion for helping others. More at lisasellman.com.

The Healthy GeezerBY FRED CICETTI

Q: Is cigarette smoke the only cause of lung cancer?

A: Radon and asbestos are causes, too. Radon is an invisible, odorless and radioactive gas that occurs naturally in soil and rocks. Asbestos has been used for fireproofing, electrical insulation, building materi-als, brake linings and chemical filters. But cigarette smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer. Before cigarette smoking became popular in the early part of the 20th century, doctors rarely saw patients with lung cancer. Nearly 90 percent of people with lung cancer developed it because they smoked cigarettes. The good news is that smoking is not as popular as it used to be. In 1965 about 42 percent of all adults smoked, but by 1997 only 25 percent did. Also, there has been a sharp drop in lung cancer deaths among men, mainly because fewer men are smoking. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men and women in the United States. It occurs most often between the ages of 55 and 65. Common symptoms of lung cancer include: a persistent cough that worsens, constant chest pain, cough-ing up blood, shortness of breath, wheezing or hoarseness, repeated problems with pneumonia or bronchi-tis, swelling of the neck and face, loss of appetite or weight loss, and fatigue. If you have any of these symptoms, it is important to check with a doctor immediately. If tests show that you have cancer, you should make treatment decisions as soon as possible. Studies show that early treatment leads to better outcomes. The standard treatments for lung cancer are surgery to remove a tumor, chemotherapy with anti-cancer drugs, radiation to kill cancer cells, and photodynamic therapy, a newer technique that uses a laser with a chemical to kill cancer cells. There are two major types of lung cancer—non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer.

Each type of lung cancer grows and spreads in different ways, and each is treated differently. Non-small cell lung cancer is more common than small cell lung cancer. Doctors treat patients with non-small cell lung cancer in several ways. Surgery is a common treatment. Cryo-surgery, a treatment that freezes and destroys cancer tissue, may be used to control symptoms in the later stages of non-small cell lung cancer. Doctors may also use radiation therapy and chemotherapy to slow the progress of the disease and to manage symptoms. Small cell lung cancer grows more quickly and is more likely to spread to other organs in the body. In many cases, cancer cells have already spread to other parts of the body when the disease is diagnosed. In order to reach cancer cells throughout the body, doc-tors almost always use chemotherapy. Treatment for small cell lung cancer may also include radiation therapy aimed at the tumor in the lung or tumors in other parts of the body, such as in the brain. Surgery is part of the treatment plan for a small number of patients with small cell lung cancer. Some patients with small cell lung cancer have radiation therapy to the brain even though no cancer is found there. This treatment is given to pre-vent tumors from forming in the brain.

Florida Residents Can Enjoy Biking Every Day!What is Florida living without

a bike? We have the ultimate climate that is conducive to bike exer-cise. You can do it virtually every day of the year from January to December. In the cooler winter months, what could be more beautiful than bik-ing on a sunny afternoon? Or in the summer, just get up early to beat the heat and watch our gorgeous sunrises. Either way, you are guaranteed to be able to use your bike to exercise and build good healthy habits every day. Many people want to ride bicycles but find getting on and off of one more than what they can handle. Biria USA is producing bicycles, called the Easy Boarding, that are specifically geared towards this growing market. The “Easy Boarding” bike makes cycling easier for older adults because it has a frame bar that is only six inches off the ground, creating a

step-through frame that is extremely easy to mount. Riders can mount the “Easy Boarding” bike simply by lifting their leg less than 6 inches rather than up and over the bike’s frame, like on traditional designs. With such advanced, senior-oriented features as upright seating (for less back pain), relaxed arm position (for more control), and a unique step-through design (making it easier to get on the bike), Biria bikes can be just the thing for the active senior! Imagine – healthy exercise, good conversation, fresh air,and a feeling of freedom, all while burning off fat and improving your health! Isn’t that why we live in Florida? For more information on Biria bi-cycles or to find a Biria distributor near you, visit www.biria.com or call 1-201-461-1980. Please consult your doctor before beginning any exercise regimen.

Could It Be Vitamin B12 Deficiency?

Vitamin B12 deficiency can be easily detected and

treated at a cost of as little as 10 cents a day. But B12 deficiency is rou-tinely misdiagnosed and left untreated, crippling millions of Americans—and causing billions of dollars in unneces-sary health care costs that are ulti-mately paid for by the U.S. taxpayer. Sally Pacholok, R.N., and Dr. Jeffrey Stuart, authors of “Could It Be B12? An Epidemic of Misdiagnoses,” call for a united effort by medical professionals for early testing and treatment of B12 deficiency. An estimated 15 percent of Ameri-cans over age 64 suffer from B12 deficiency—that’s 5.9 million older adults. Other groups at risk for devel-oping B12 deficiency are vegetarians, gastric bypass patients, alcoholics and sufferers of anemia, celiac disease, Crohn’s disease, autoimmune disease and AIDS. The use of certain drugs

such as proton pump inhibitors, metformin, H-2 blockers and

nitrous oxide can also cause B12 deficiency.

What are the symptoms? If your vitamin B12 defi-ciency is mild, you may not have symptoms or you may

not notice them. As anemia gets worse, you may: Feel weak, tired, and lightheaded. Have pale skin. Have a sore, red tongue or bleeding gums. Feel sick to your stomach and lose weight. Have diarrhea or constipation. If the level of vitamin B12 stays low for a long time, it can damage your nerve cells. If this happens, you may have: Numbness or tingling in your fingers and toes. A poor sense of balance. Depression. Dementia, a loss of mental abilities. When detected in time, B12 deficiency can be treated and cured with inexpensive vitamin B12 injections, which can cost as little as $36 a year—just 10 cents a day.

Medicare: What You Need To KnowThe health reform

law has made some important changes to Medicare that go into effect in 2012.• Make way for baby boomers qualifying for “Original Medicare” at age 65. This year, baby boomers begin turning 65, which means more people will be enrolling in Medicare this year than in the past. All of these new enrollees will put more stress on Medicare enrollment experts.• “Newbies” be aware of deductibles, coinsurance, out-of-pocket limits and prescription drugs. If you’re new to Medicare, it’s important to know that both parts of Original Medicare (A and B) have deductibles. And, the deductibles are not tied to a calendar year like they are with

traditional health insurance. Instead, they’re tied to a 90-day benefi t period, with some exceptions.

• Get “star power” in 2012. The Affordable Care Act (health reform) requires a star

rating system to be used for Medicare Advantage plans, beginning in 2012. Plans get a rating of 1 to 5, with a 5-star rating equating to an “Excellent Performance,” and a 1-star rating equating to a “Poor Performance.” If you’re lucky enough to have access to a 5-star plan, consider it as an option for your coverage. One benefi t of a 5-star plan is that you can enroll in it any time, even outside of Medicare’s annual enrollment period. Ross Blair is President and CEO of Plan Prescriber, Inc.

Do you “Deck the Halls” for Others?It’s that time of

year again, when the air turns cooler and the stores fill with the sounds of holidays. But I have a question for you. While you spend time “Decking the Halls” of your life, will you make time to “Deck the Halls” in others’ lives? Each year, Senior Friendship Centers and other local partners strive to help local frail, homebound and low-income older adults with “merriment and joy” by providing them with one gift each during the holiday season. Many of these seniors have no local family or have “outlived” all their friends and spouses, and these donated gifts will be their only acknowledgement that the holidays are being celebrated. The goal of many “senior gift programs” is to honor and acknowledge the unique gifts our older adults have given to our community by gifting back to them

during the holidays. So when you choose to donate to

a “senior-specific” gift drive, you are choosing to be the highlight of an older adult’s holiday season.

And like the song says, ‘Heedless of the wind and weather,” the year will rush on and the winter season will fall into a new year. So, as you reflect on the times and “Yuletide treasures” of this year, take the time to ensure that every person has acknowledged this sea-son. If you or your group would be interested in helping in the community efforts to “Deck the Halls”

of local low-income and homebound seniors, contact us at (239) 275-1881 for more information on this project and other “gift drop off” locations, or for any of our giving opportunities. Submitted by: Kristina Rodriguez,Director of Nutrition & CommunityEngagement.

Handling Family Tension During the HolidaysBY LISA M. PETSCHE

The holiday season is a hectic time for many people. Staying

sane is even more of a challenge for those who don’t get along well with their extended family. Every family has dysfunction, of course, because no member is perfect. But some families are prone to more interpersonal tension than others, due to diverse personalities, circumstances, values and lifestyles among members. Read on for some tips on how to cope with the almost inevitable stress inherent when relatives get together for the holidays.PreparationMake it a point to practice self-care at this time of the year. Eat healthy foods, make time for exercise and get adequate sleep. Allow plenty of time to get ready for a family event, so you’re relaxed and feel your best.Conjure up compassion for relatives who emanate negativity, bearing in mind that they are unhappy individuals. Try

to feel pity rather than anger towards them.Set realistic expecta-tions about family members’ behavior. The narcissist, non-stop talk-er or chronic complainer

is not going to change. Plan to steer clear of them if possible, otherwise limit the amount of time you spend with them.Give yourself a pep talk. Reassureyourself that you are up to the challenge of gracefully handling a few hours with anyone.If you are particularly anxious about a gathering, invite a friend along for support.Aim to cut your visit short as a last resort. Plan something to look forward to afterwards.During a Gathering: Do’s and Don’tsAvoid consuming alcohol; otherwise, limit yourself to one or two drinks. Disinhibition can cause you to say things you may regret.

Practice good listening skills: pay attention, don’t interrupt and ask open-ended questions. Be conscious of your non-verbal language, keeping your posture open (avoid crossing your arms), making eye contact and nodding periodically. Show courtesy towards everyone. When you can’t manage any more politeness towards a particular individual, find a reason to excuse yourself and move on.Count to ten and refuse to take the bait when someone tries to one-up you or goad you into an argument. Instead, adopt a “stupid and cheerful” demeanor – signature advice from syndicated radio host and licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Joy Browne.Stay away from contentious topics and change the subject if others raise them. Don’t participate in gossip or put-downs of others, or bring up unpleasant events.Engage relatives positively by reminiscing about pleasant times

or inquiring about something meaningful to them, such as their children or grandchildren, work, a hobby or a recent vacation.Breathe deeply if you find yourself getting stressed. If that doesn’t help, head to the washroom or step outside, to compose yourself.

Parting Thoughts If you keep in mind that you can’t change anyone’s behavior except your own, and that it’s always within your power to be civil and, yes, even kind to a certain degree, you will make it through family events, perhaps even better than you anticipated. If things don’t go well in spite of your best efforts to be congenial, plan a vaca-tion over the holidays next year, so you can have a guilt-free break from family functions - and other sources of seasonal stress - and thoroughly enjoy yourself.

The Financial Challenges of Living Longer BY ROSEMARIE HURLEY, CSALong-Term Care Insurance Specialist

The “complexion” of America is ever-

changing. In nineteen years, one out of every five Americans, (the baby boom-ers), will be 65 or older. And there will be over 70,000,000 of us. No aspect of American life will be untouched by the grinding force of that reality. Our medical spending for the population 65 and older and our current approach to senior living opportunities give reason for concern. Things must start changing now. Americans cannot continue to spend 36 percent of our medical expendi-tures on this exploding population. We must ensure that our senior living options are both plentiful and also dedicated to facilitating lifestyles that will enhance functionality and successful, positive aging. The fact is that if you take care of yourself and as a result, live longer, it is inevitable that you may outlive your savings. This creates a fi ne line balancing act. Including a Long-Term Care policy in the “mix” of future fi nancial planning is a must. Why? Because it will enable your own saved assets to go further. Even if you only insure part of the risk for Long-Term Care (i.e.: help at home, if you move to assisted living or have eventual nursing home expenses), the pool of money available to you in your policy will help you and your family cope with the connected expenses.

Understanding these statistics to help turn things into positive lifestyle

changes for America’s millions of older adults is the challenge before us. As always, education of these important concerns is imperative and requires communication from us to the masses. These positive

pursuits can certainly move our aging society into a

masterpiece of living—something we can all feel good about for our own senior adult lives and futures. If you are planning to live a long time…planning ahead is a must. Of-tentimes, people have misinformation about the ways these plans operate. Or sometimes they simply wait too long to act on the idea. You can become too old, or an illness or injury can preclude qualifying for a plan. Don’t let that be you. The only way to be certain you’ll have the monies you’ll need to live as a senior adult as happy and independently as possible is to fi nance these costs with a Long-Term Care policy bought when you are young and relatively healthy. Be smart. Keep thinking positively and also put a proactive plan in place as soon as you can. Be smart, plan ahead.

She is a Certifi ed Senior Advisor and has been a Long-Term Care Insurance Specialist for over 18 years. She repre-sents only the fi nest insurance companies in the industry.

Is There a Kipper in Your House?

Down Under in Australia, they call them “kippers”—“kids in parents’

pockets eroding retirement savings.” The 2010 U.S. census figures indicate that more than 80 million so-called American “empty nesters” now find themselves with at least one grown child living at home. U.S. pundits refer to these adult children as the “boomer-ang” generation. Some kids return home for economic reasons—this year over 18 percent of 16-to-24-year-olds were unemployed vs. 8.7 percent for people over 25. College grads with college loans may move back in with their parents—where life is comfortable and rent is either low or nonexistent—while they get their finances in order.

Of course, some return for personal reasons, to recover from a divorce or an illness, or just because they cannot afford their parents’ lifestyle living on their own. Focus on the Family, which has an extensive family-related website, offers these tips for maintaining a healthy relation-ship with your adult child: • Trust your adult children to make wise choices, even if they sometimes don’t. They’ll eventually figure things out. After all, didn’t you learn much the same way?

• Squelch the impulse to give advice unless it’s asked for. That’s easier to do when your kids are out of your radar range, but when they’re sleeping just down the hall, self-censorship can be more difficult. You don’t want to sound like a nagging broken record of “You shouldn’t have” and “Why didn’t you?”• Communication is key. Set a regular time to discuss issues, clarify expectations or simply clear the air. Pray together regularly. • Practice grace—everyone. We all have bad days. Three or more adults living in one house is a challenge whether you’re related or not. Give each other some space! A New York Life spokesman notes that the return by adult children to the nest can become a financial burden that can derail the parents’ plans and jeopardize their financial future, especially their retirement, as they try to do too much for their children.

They offer these key suggestions for dealing with debt and helping your children out financially:1. Help them restructure debts, rather than simply bail them out. Then teach them how to avoid new debt. One option is to match debt-reduction payments with the under-standing that they put away credit cards and live within their means.2. Do not sacrifice your own finan-cial future. Decide how much you want and can afford to help. Children tend to think their parents are wealthy, while some parents provide more financial support than they can afford. Having your children return to the safety net of your home can be a won-derful time of family closeness. Setting the tone, laying out the ground rules and making smart-money financial decisions can help create a positive, supportive environment that is in the best interests of you and your returning family members. Your role is to guide them.

Travel

Mobile, Alabama…Prepare to be Surprised!BY DAVID LALMOND

In Mobile, Alabama, the coastal way of life is lived out every day

in food, music and festivals. Mobile still holds surprises for the traveler, whether for a day or a week. Pre-pare to be surprised as you eat your way along the bay, visit dozens of historical sites and get out on the water. Or join one of their many festivals. It’s worth a stop!

When to go MARDI GRAS in Mobile…the surprising original! The fi rst known American Mardi Gras celebration took place in Mo-bile in 1703, even before New Orleans had one. Visit Mobile Carnival Museum to see a se-lection of jeweled robes and crowns of past celebrations. Go aboard an actual fl oat and learn about the two weeks of celebrations that culminate on “Fat Tuesday” each year. Docents take you through the cultural and social aspects of local Mardi Gras traditions.

Or maybe go for New Years. On New Years Eve, you can relax with an RC Cola and a Moon Pie (or champagne) in Mobile. At midnight a twelve-foot illuminated MoonPie descends from a 34-story tower to usher in the new year, Mobile style. (Mobile consumes four million Moon Pies annually, so many that the city has adopted the delicious treat as an informal emblem.) So...enjoy Moon-Pie Over Mobile next New Years Eve.

Or go to Mobile when the gardens are in bloom, and that is year-round in Mobile at Bellin-grath Gardens and Home – the house that Coke built. Mr. Walter Bellingrath was an early franchise investor in the Coca-Cola Compa-ny and today his famous 75-year-old estate on 65 acres presents a horticultural bouquet where there are blooms most every day

of the year. World-renowned for its camellias in winter, 2,000 rose bushes in summer, dozens of azalea bushes in spring, magnifi cent Christmas lights and much more. Popular among travelers, it’s an easy drive off I-10.

What to see In the Museum of Mobile, innovative and state-of-the-art exhibits help you relive the journey of some of the earli-est Americans. Particularly impressive were the African-American stories and their infl uence in arts, sports and leadership. Civil War soldiers tell their stories. Natural disasters are portrayed as their impact changed the commercial fortunes of Mobile.

On the edge of Mobile Bay, the Five Rivers Delta Center offers outdoor activity and adventure in the scenic waterways, woods and wetlands where fi ve rivers converge. The interpretive center presents background, live exhibits and is adjacent to the Bertram Canoe Trail. I enjoyed a kayak trip but guided trips are also available on pontoon boats.

The Gulf Coast Exploreum is a kid’s fi eld trip delight and the only science center between Houston and Tampa along the Gulf coast. High tech adven-ture in heart health awaits the visitor. The Ciba Lab offers lab coat and goggles so you can try your hand at table-top experiments. Hands-on inter-active exhibits offer a chance to strum a tune on a laser harp. The Virtual Journeys Digital Theater uses power-ful computers and digital projection systems the size of an 18-wheeler. You can relive baseball’s glory days at the Hank Aaron Childhood

home and museum. His childhood in Mobile is presented at the Hank Aaron Stadium where the Mobile Bay Bears play (affi liated with the Arizona Diamondbacks). A walk through downtown Mobile, takes you to A & M Peanut Shop with an original Planters peanut roaster still in operation and Three Georges Ice Cream Shop. Stop for lunch at the Spot of Tea and then be sure to see the old Saenger Theater and the beautiful 19th century cathedral.

Where to stay The newly remodeled Battle House Hotel is one of the grand old hotels of the South. Located in downtown Mobile, the Battle House Hotel opened in 1852 and has been opened and closed a couple of times, but the recently completed renovation easily makes it the most desirable hotel stay along the coast. Rooms are luxurious, the pool and fi tness area exceptional and service is genteel Southern. If you don’t have the time or inclina-tion to stay at the Battle House, tours are available through the Beaux Art style lobby. Unique to the second fl oor is the “whispering arch” where one may whisper at one end of an arch and be clearly heard 35 feet away at the other end of the arch. For information, visit mobilebay.org or call 1-800-5MOBILE.

Jubilee!Near Mobile, the town of

Daphne is world-known for the unusual phenomenon of “jubilee.” Once or more a year, environmental factors deplete the water of oxygen drawing shrimp, flounder, crab and other fish up to the surface close to the shore. The word goes out, phones ring all over the area—“Jubilee!”—and residents rush with their cool-ers to the area to collect immense numbers of fish, free for the picking up.

For Healthy Holiday Recipes, Get Creative With New IngredientsEating healthy during the holidays

can be difficult. There’s no need to entirely forgo your favorite festive foods this season. Try substituting healthier ingredients into your favorite recipes. Instead of mayonnaise or cream cheese, use Chobani Greek Yogurt. It’s a great way to cut out extra calories without sac-rificing taste. Greek yogurt also has two times more protein than regular yogurt and it’s a great source of calcium. Have fun in the kitchen with these two deli-cious and nutritious recipes.

A Little White Lie

BY BRIAN GUNNELL

On defense, sometimes a little white lie is necessary in order

to point Partner in the right direction. No more clues, here’s your problem:

You are sitting East, trying to beat 4♥. Partner leads the ♣A. Where can you find four defensive tricks? No doubt Declarer has the ♠A and the ♥A for that opening bid, so at first glance it may appear that the best the defense can do is to take its two Club tricks and the ♦A. Any ideas for an extra trick? OK, now that you’ve solved the problem, the full hand: That’s right, at Trick 1 East false-cards with the ♣8, showing a double-ton! East’s plan is to conjure up a

trump trick out of thin air. Look what happens! West next cashes the ♣K, and East completes his fake high-low. Then West plays a third round of Clubs and who can blame Declarer for ruffing that trick high in Dummy? Obviously he doesn’t want to get overruffed by East, and, anyway, squandering that high trump costs nothing if the trumps are 3-1 or 2-2. But they are 4-0, so East gets a trump trick and it’s down one! It was necessary to fool Partner as well as Declarer. If East had signaled honestly in Clubs, then, at Trick 3, West would no doubt have shifted to the ♠Q, hoping that East has the Ace and trying to grab a couple of Spade tricks before they disappear on the Diamonds.

Fun Santa FactsSanta is a man of many names. In

the United States, Santa is called St. Nick and sometimes Kris Krin-gle. He’s called Father Christmas in England, Christkindli in Switzerland, Pere Noel in France, Babbo Natale in Italy and Weihnachts-mann in Austria. Where does Santa go on vacation? You can visit Santa’s Beach House Village in Panama City, Florida. See visitpanamacitybeach.com. U.S. scientists calculat-ed that Santa would have to visit 822 homes a second to deliver all the world’s presents on Christmas Eve, traveling at 650 miles a second. NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, tracks Santa Claus’s sleigh ride across the globe every Christmas Eve and posts realtime updates via the internet. Visit noradsanta.org.

Santa’s traditional suit depends on which country you’re in. In England and the U.S, he wears red and white. In some European countries, he was said to have worn a red or black bishop’s cloak with bishop hat, and

sometimes a long green furry robe. On Santa’s blog on santaflorida.com, one reader asks: Does Santa Claus have swim-ming trunks? His reply: Indeed I do, and I use

them regularly. I like to swim best in the summer, but I am known to jump into the icy cold water and play with polar bears. I always make sure the Elf lifeguards are on duty. Every year in California, a “Surfing Santa” contest is held to benefit charities. See surfingsantacontest.org.From internet sources.
