Some of us are at the point in ourlives that we appreciate our agingyears. We feel that we knew andenjoyed our country at its very best.

Following WWII, we were sure there wouldnever be another war and now we have trou-ble remembering a time when we weren’tcalled to some other country’s conflict.

We have several things to contend withas we grow older but they are rather per-sonal. Like my friend Ruthie said in oneof her e-mails, “My new husband and I areso happy and busy that we hope to live tobe 100 together.”

Then she shared the following; To my“not so young & not so old friends:”

Today is the oldest you’ve ever been,yet the youngest you’ll ever be, so enjoythis day while it lasts!

• Your Kids are becoming you... but yourgrandchildren are perfect!

• Going out is good... but coming homeis better!

• You forget names... it's okay becauseother people forgot they even knew you!

• You realize you're never going to bereally good at anything... especially golf.

• The things you used to care to do, youno longer care to do, but you really do carethat you don't care to do them anymore.

• You sleep better on a lounge chair withthe TV blaring than in bed. It's called pre-sleep time.

• You miss the days when everythingworked with just an ON and OFF switch.

• You tend to use more 4 letter words—what?...when? ... ???

• Now that you can afford expensivejewelry, it's not safe to wear it anywhere.

• You notice everything they sell instores is sleeveless?!!!

• What used to be referred to as freck-les are now liver spots.

• You have 3 sizes of clothes in yourcloset... 2 of which you will never wear.

Ruthie seems to find things to sendthat no one has ever shared with me. Sheeven has a few good words from the dictio-nary that defines our aging years. If you’veseen some, just enjoy them again.

Adult: A person who stopped growingat both ends and is growing in the middle.

Beauty Parlor: A place where womencurl up and dye.

Chickens: The only animals you eatbefore they are born and after they are dead.

Committee: A body that keeps minutesand wastes hours.

Dust: Mud with the juice squeezed out.Egotist: Someone who is usually me-

deep in conversation. Handkerchief: Cold storage. Inflation: Cutting money in half with-

out damaging the paper.

Mosquito: An insect that makes youlike flies better.

Raisin: A grape with a sunburn. Secret: Something you tell to one person

at a time. Skeleton: A bunch of bones with the

person scraped off. Toothache: The pain that drives you to

extraction. Tomorrow: One of the greatest labor

saving devices of today. Yawn: An honest opinion which is

openly expressed.Wrinkles: Something other people have,

similar to our character linesOld is good in some things: old songs,

old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!It's Not What You Gather, But What

You Scatter That Tells What Kind Of LifeYou Have Lived.

Thanks for this, Ruthie. I think I will goto the easy chair to watch TV now. If I cat-nap it won’t last too long because every-one I don’t know now has my phone num-ber… and I feel I must answer, in case it’syou or another old friend. ST

Relax. While you may have a lotto worry about, there are a feweasy ways to reduce the stressof demanding, hectic schedules,

work, and family responsibilities. Fortu-nately, taking the right steps can reducestress overload and improve your health.

“Stress overload harms the body andcan eventually lead to cardiovascular,immune, and digestive problems, as wellas depression, anxiety, and other mentalhealth concerns,” said Douglas Mac-Kay,N.D., vice president scientific and regulatoryaffairs, Council for Responsible Nutrition.“Incorporating relaxation techniques intoour everyday lives is essential for overallhealth and wellness.”

Dr. MacKay offers these tips to helpmanage stress levels and improve youroverall health:1. Work your mind and your body. Activ-

ities such as meditation and yoga havebeen known to decrease stress levels.According to the Mayo Clinic, exercisecan decrease the production of stress hor-mones and counteract the body's naturalstress responses by in-creasing endor-phins and improving your mood.

2. Do a diet assessment. Think about incor-porating more foods with complex car-bohydrates such as whole grains, oats andbrown rice, which can increase serotoninlevels and help keep you calm.

3. Consider botanicals. Some plants, suchas chamomile, lavender, and lemon balm(from the mint family), are known fortheir relaxing tendencies. In fact, researchhas shown that the botanical supplementRhodiola rosea may improve physicalendurance and mental performance andreduces stress-induced fatigue in humans.Valerian, another botanical supplement,has been known to help manage stressefficiently by promoting healthy sleeppatterns. These dietary supplements canbe found in many pharmacies and gro-cery or health food stores, or throughdirect marketing companies.

4. Please your nose. Smells that are en-joyable to your olfactory system (or senseof smell) often have a relaxing or calm-ing effect, especially if they evoke pleas-ant memories.

5. Keep your body's nutrients in check.Excess stress depletes the body of essen-tial B vitamins that are required to keepthe nervous system healthy. B vitaminswork as a team to maintain healthy brainand nerve cells and help with the pro-duction of important neurotransmittersin the brain that help promote relax-ation. Taking a B-complex vitamin canprovide extra nutritional support dur-ing times of stress.

6. Just breathe. And breathe deeply. Longdeep breaths are associated with relax-ation while rapid bursts are a symptom ofstress. Try 10 deep breaths in a row. ST

Ways To Manage Stress


by George Goldtrap

The sky is falling… really? Wait aminute! I can’t be writing this.The world ended back in Octo-ber of 2012 didn’t it, or did I miss

it? Ha! A lot of people have missed itbecause it has never happened… in spiteof enough predictions to fill the GrandCanyon and then some.

The phrase, ‘The sky is falling’ goesway back, maybe more than 25 centuries.It is repeated in folk stories and has cometo our language thru preservation of theabsurd notion that the world is nearingimminent and disastrous end… ala… thesky is falling. The best know story usingthe phrase is that of Henny Penny, alsoknown as Chicken Little, a folk characterwho believes the world is coming to an end.It is associated with negative thinking andparanoiac fear often generated by ill-in-formed religion, often based in ignorance.

In her book, For The Time Being, AnnieDillard says that “throughout history peoplehave thought civilization was on the vergeof collapse. Around 300 B.C., Hindusbelieved they were living in a ‘degenerateand unfortunate time’ known as the KaliYuga—the lowest point in the so calledgreat cosmic cycle.” That pessimism stillabounds and is heard daily.

Dillard adds, “In 426 A.D., Augustinemourned that the world was in its lastdays” (a phrase generally loved by thosemotivated by superstitions). In the 1800s,renowned Hasidic Rabbi Nachman wasgrieving for the world's “widespread athe-ism and immorality.”

You can rest easy though. If the accuracyof history is to be valued, the sky isnot falling … at least not on thepredictions of any fringegroup of fear mongers.

‘The sky is falling’ has neverfailed to be a tool of fear forherding people down adead end path. Considerthe history.

The oldest knownprediction of the end ofthe world is recorded onAssyrian tablets… or per-haps in Zoroastrianism top-ping at about 500 BC, and bearing muchwhich it brought along from the OldTestament era of Abraham and the earlyJudaic formulas.

Later comes Christianity and with itkinder gentler terminology like the sec-ond coming. Since this period, the varietiesof falling sky are almost endless. They dohave a common thread, saying… menbecome more deceitful and more given tovile practices and adding, the multiplicityof disasters and natural calamities as men-tioned in the New Testament… as if thesethings have not been happening all along.Look out… with every earthquake, volcaniceruption, or hurricane, here comes a floodof warnings—the sky is falling—and soon!

I am amused at highway warning signsthat, before interstates and Lady Bird John-son, were all over the side of the roads in thesouth. They were concrete crosses with fourwords… Christ is coming soon. My ques-tion is, if soon is absolutely true… why con-crete crosses? Why not balsa wood or papermache? Obviously soon is a relative term.

Warnings of this kind are not limited toone religion… most all have contributed.Even the major modern protestant groupshave a record of participation. One of myfavorites is a book titled Millions NowLiving Will Never Die. It was written byreligious leader, Joseph F. Rutherford. Thebook is no longer available in bookstores,and contemporary followers of Rutherfordare not familiar with it… for obvious reason.

In 1843, William Miller, an early Ameri-can leader of a fundamentalist religion,predicted the sky falling in only a fewmonths. He was wrong of course. Don’t for-get the ‘rapture theologist.’ Their predictionwas May 11, 2011. Wrong again. Egyptianbiochemist Rasha Khalifa predicted in 1968that the world would end in 2240. I probablywon’t attend. Let me know how it works out.

Then there are the premillennialists whobelieve that

the End Timesare occurring now.

Toss in Jim Jones, PatRobertson, Hal Lindsey,

and endless others. All wrong …again and again! All of these reli-gionist predictions ignore thewords of their leader, Jesus,who said… ‘But of that day and

hour knoweth no man, not theangels of heaven…’ Against those

odds, some still try. Forgive me ifI ignore them.

People pester NASA withquestions about asteroids hitting

our globe and destroying it. It mightbe just as sensible to ask… what if earth

falls off the pedestal?During the 60s I sold bomb shelters

because many in euphoric atomaphobiabelieved we were about to lose the world toatom bombs. Didn’t happen but there aresome nice wine cellars out there… con-verted bomb shelters. (The USPO put outa flyer explaining how to have your mailforwarded in the event of atomic Armaged-don). Don’t you just love government ex-perts… almost as reliable as pseudo-psychicpreachers. P.T. Barnum would love it!

The sky looks pretty safe to me… butwhat do I know? ST

Sleep apnea is a common disorder thatcauses people to stop breathing while theysleep. Nearly 42 million Americans are livingwith the condition, yet at least 75 percent ofthe most severe cases remain undiagnosed.Untreated sleep apnea can lead to a multitudeof other health issues such as diabetes, highblood pressure, heart disease, and obesity.

Think you may be at risk? Take the“sleep apnea quiz” and find out:• Do you wake up in the middle of the night

choking or gasping for air?• Do you find it hard to stay awake when

• Do you have the energy to do things youwant to do?

• Do/did your parents or grandparentssnore?

• Are you depressed?• Do you have high blood pressure, dia-

betes, or heart disease? If you can answer “yes” to two or more

of these questions, you may be at risk forsleep apnea. A diagnosis of sleep apnea cansound worrisome, yet with support and

education, you can be on your way to abetter night’s sleep and a healthier life.Wake Up to Sleep, a comprehensive patientsupport community, is here to help you onyour journey from diagnosis to successfultreatment. ST

According to the Mayo Clinic,most people will experienceback pain at least once in theirlifetime. The intensity of lower

back pain is in accordance to the intensityof the injury. Pain lasting for day or weeksis considered acute. Pain lasting for monthsis considered chronic. Lower back pain isusually triggered by a combination of over-use, muscle strain, and/or injury to the mus-cles, ligaments, and discs that support thespine. This leads to tension on muscles,bones, discs, and ligaments making the lowback prone to injuries which cause pain.

Symptoms of lower back pain includeshooting pain, muscle ache, radiation of paindown legs, poor posture, inflexibility, andlimited range of motion. Common causesof lower back pain may include improperor heavy lifting, injury or overuse, sudden orawkward movements, structural problemssuch as sciatica, arthritis, ruptured discs, orskeletal irregularities. Risk factors that in-crease development of lower back pain in-clude obesity, aging, strenuous work, stress,anxiety, depression, or a sedentary job.

Acupuncture treatments provide a safe,natural way to alleviate lower back pain.The benefits of acupuncture for lowerback pain include the clearing of pinchednerves, increasing circulation, relaxing stiffmuscles, reducing inflammation, promotingtissues healing, improving range of move-ment, and decreasing pain by increasingamounts of natural pain relievers in the brain(serotonin, nor epinephrine, and dopamine).Traditional Chinese Medicine sees the humanbody as an integrated being. It works withvital energies inherent within all living

things to promote the body’s ability toheal itself. Qi (pronounced “chee”) is a vitalenergy that flows through meridians, path-ways that run throughout the entire body.Qi protects the body from illness and pro-vides nourishment to cells, tissues, mus-

cles, and organs. During an acupuncturetreatment, specific acupuncture points arestimulated to balance bioelectric energycirculation. A balance of energy in thebody yields mind-body relaxation and opti-mized physiological functions of the body.The whole procedures last about 20 min-utes, during which time patients are veryrelaxed and comfortable.

Acupuncture practitioners recommenda holistic health approach inclusive of herbalremedies, massage, and stretching to achieveoptimal relief from pain. Further ways toachieve freedom from back pain include aregimen of exercise which increases flex-ibility, maintains weight, and strengthensmuscles, diets rich in anti-inflammatory,unprocessed and organic foods, stress reduc-tion through breathing techniques such asmeditation and yoga and achieving a bal-ance of rest and relaxation.

Acupuncture And Lower Back Pain

Acupuncture & Skin Care…by Dr. Lorenzo Phan

OMD, A.P.

Between 70 and 85 percent of adultswill experience back pain at leastonce in their lifetime. Accord-ing to a study in the Archives of

Internal Medicine, acupuncture reduces backpain more effectively than Western medi-cine and exercise alike.

The research study consisted of more thanone thousand adults separated into threestudy groups. One group was treated withconventional medications and physical ther-apy. The second group was treated withacupuncture and a third was treated withsham acupuncture (common to a placeboeffect). Results proved that patients whoreceived acupuncture had a greater decreasein back pain than patients who received theconventional treatments.

The benefits of acupuncture for backpain include clearing compression/pinched

nerves, increasing blood circulation, relax-ing stiffened muscles, reducing inflamma-tion, promoting tissues healing, improvingrange of movement and/or flexibility anddeactivating cycle of pain by increasingamounts of natural pain relievers in the brain(serotonin, nor epinephrine and dopamine).Chinese medicine has been used for morethan 5,000 years. With this form of therapyproving to be a safer method of pain relief,patients are seeking it out more often.

This week, Halifax Humane Soci-ety’s Redinger Spay/Neuter Cliniccelebrated the one-year anniver-sary of its grand opening. In the

short time it has been open, the clinic hasalready made tremendous strides towardreducing and eventually eliminating the petoverpopulation problem in the GreaterDaytona area.

The Redinger Clinic hosted its GrandOpening celebration on April 12, 2012, andbegan operations with a soft opening onApril 16, performing 13 sterilization surg-eries. On April 17, the clinic completed itsfirst full day of operations, completing 32surgeries. Since opening, the clinic has per-formed 7,705 spay/neuter surgeries, steril-izing 2,898 dogs and 4,807 cats.

Even with adoption numbers on the riseat Halifax Humane Society, reducing intakemust be a top priority when combating thepet overpopulation problem. According tonational estimates, the surgeries performedat the Redinger Clinic in its first year haveprevented over 2,000 dogs and 2,700 catsfrom entering animal shelters.

During the planning stages of the clinic,longtime animal welfare supporters Alanand Mary Ann Redinger made a generous$50,000 donation toward the project. Thiscontribution allowed Halifax Humane Soci-ety to outfit the building as a state-of-the-art spay/neuter clinic. Alan passed away in2012, but the clinic continues to move for-ward in his honor. A PetSmart Charities grantalso allowed for the purchasing of the nec-essary equipment to operate the clinic.

The surgical standards at the RedingerClinic are derived from Humane Alliance,an organization that has been a catalyst for,and strategy behind, a nationwide movementto execute the best defense against euthana-sia, namely prevention by sterilization. Sofar, over 115 new spay/neuter clinics acrossthe United States have opened under itsmentor program.

Spay/neuter surgeries at the RedingerClinic start as low as $25, and prices varybased on species, gender, and weight. Thesurgeries are subsidized in part by grantsfrom PetSmart Charities. To schedule aspay/neuter surgery for your pet, please call

386-310-4935. The Redinger Clinic is lo-cated at 600 Mason Avenue in DaytonaBeach, next to ARNI. ST

The word stress is used frequentlyto describe events, choices, andrelationships in our lives. Stressis our body’s way of reacting and

adapting to challenges. At first we may dovery well with adapting, but somethinghappens and the body cannot keep up withthe added demands. The inability to adaptdisrupts nearly every system in the bodywhich leads to diminished health and anincreased propensity to get sick. It is themajor cause of 75 percent of all illness.

Stress overload effects the nervous sys-tem the most. It creates an interference

and alters the signals the brain sends tocommunicate to all of our body systems tofunction and keep us in a state of health.

An interesting study from theUniversity of Pennsylvaniashows that eating comfortfood to help a bad mood

actually can worsen the mood that thefood was supposed to alleviate. In apaper presented recently at the Amer-ican Psychosomatic Society conferencein Miami, researchers revealed that pos-itive moods didn't change one way orthe other before or after eating comfortor junk food, but negative moods weremade worse.

While the study wasn't about seniors,and they used women participants whowere much younger, the way they con-ducted the study makes me believe iteasily could apply to seniors. Insteadof having subjects appear at the cliniconce a week to report on what they'deaten and how they felt, they wereequipped with handheld computers toinput their moods and foods multipletimes per day, especially just before andafter eating.

In a study last year in the PublicHealth Nutrition journal, researchers

revealed that people who ate junk orcomfort food were more likely to bedepressed—by 51 percent. The morejunk food, the more depression.

One of the biggest concerns aboutseniors and junk food (and fast food isincluded) is that many of us have smallerappetites than before. Maybe it's becausefood doesn't taste like it did, or maybea medication we're on has reduced ourappetite. Many seniors are at risk formalnutrition even if we're never hungry,because the types of food we eat don'tsupport good nutrition. If we turn to junkfood, we might not have enough appetiteleft to eat the foods we should.

If we eat to help a bad mood, wecould be making it worse. ST

It isn't necessary to remind our readersthat since the events in Boston, theUnited States is in a permanent stateof war. What Americans don't have to

accept is a permanent state of stress. Weare free to be victims or to be in control.

One of the major contributors to stressis nutritional deficiencies. In my last twoarticles, we targeted the standard Ameri-can diet which is saturated with inflam-matory fats like hydrogenated corn oil,while critically deficient in essential fattyacids (Omega 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) and essen-tial B vitamins (B3, B6, B12, and folates)so critical in preventing heart stress. Theresult is a brain stripped of the good fats itneeds to stay functional while the rest ofthe body struggles with the house is on firehormone called cortisol. Unregulated cor-tisol production cripples the body's en-docrine firewall: the critical balancing actbetween the thyroid gland, the adrenal gland,and the liver/pancreas. In the past, all humanshad to do was deal with immediate threatsto life's basic needs of food, clothing, shel-ter, and animal control. With modern life,unremitting stress day in and day out hascaused our adrenal glands, the source ofthe cortisol, to become exhausted. The bodythen cries out for quick energy. The caf-feine/sugar cycle kicks in and quickly thepancreas and thyroid glands crash. Whatfollows is a chronic state of low energy(now called CFS), seesaw weight gain andloss, mood swings which leads to anxietywhich then makes it difficult getting tosleep or staying asleep. There is a reasonwhy 33 percent of Americans experienceinsomnia on a regular basis while 13 per-cent of adults in the U.S. receive prescrip-tion drugs to sleep. (Dr. C. Stetler, CortisolResponse/ sleep patterns and moderatedepression, Journal Abnormal Psychology,11/2005/#114).

So how do we break this cycle of en-docrine chaos? First make life style changesto eliminate the source of stress (ie. don'twatch television) or at least manage it (onlywatch the weather channel). Next, eliminatenutritional stress (no American needs a 64oz. high fructose corn syrup caffeine soda—period). Consume nutrient dense freshwhole foods free of health robbing transfats, refined carbohydrates, and phonysugars like aspartame.

We at Love WholeFoods have been pro-viding just such a food resource to our com-munity for over two decades. To assist usin this food as medicine solution, the folksat Natural Factors have developed a prod-uct called AdrenaSense. It combines a groupnutraceuticals called adaptogenic herbs.These adaptogens are designed to syner-gistically support adrenal function with-out over stimulating the endocrine system.The most important element in the formulais a plant called Suma. This scrub like vineis found in the Amazon rain forest. Calledpara todo by the natives, in English itmeans for everything.

Nutritionally, Suma contains all 19 essen-tial amino acids, electrolytes along with

the trace minerals iron, magnesium, sili-ca, and zinc. Interestingly, it contains allof the essential B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5,B6) researched by Dr. Kimer McCully, M.D.for preventing cholesterol build up andconsequential heart disease. This plantprovides regenerative support for the ner-vous, reproductive, and digestive systemswhich are all impacted by negative stress.When it is combined with the standard-ized herbs Schisandra, Ashwaganda, andRhodiola (one of Dr. Oz's must have sup-plements) then you have recipe for whole-ness even if everything in your life is outof balance. My wife likes to say it is likehitting the reset button!

This product generates nice feed backfrom folks just likeyou. Just take two(vegetarian) capsulesmid-day with foodfor a month. Folksreport an increase inenergy without crashing, enhanced immunefunction (no recurring colds or infections),but more importantly, they were able toget to sleep—and stay asleep. In many cases,they stated that they woke up refreshed vs.tired and hung over. When they also tookan Omega 3 EFA with a wholefood derivedmultiple vitamin they experienced exactlywhat the American Journal of ClinicalNutrition reported: a feeling of wellnessand a slowing down of our biological agingprocess (Am. Jrnl. Clin. Nut. #6/20090).

The solution to stress management re-quires more than food and supplements.Exercise is perhaps the most important ele-ment in the search for mind, body, andspiritual tranquillity. If you have somepounds to shed since the Super Bowl, themedical literature makes it clear that justthirty minutes of low impact exercise willnot only help burn those pounds but im-prove the quality of your sleep.

This is why I have joined Tasso fromBodez Fitness Center to help our commu-nity get on a targeted mind/body shapingprogram. Please join Tasso and myself onthe Fitness Friday radio program. It is onevery Friday at 9 A.M. on WNDB (1150AM)radio. You will not only get smart and buthopefully get inspired by guests who havestruggled to control the stress and won.

Spring Gardening Tips For Seniors

Spring is a time of rejuvenation innature and spirit. Here in Florida,spring-like temperatures last onlya brief time before hot, humid days

set in. It’s a great time to get outside andre-connect with your surroundings. Walkaround the yard and neighborhood and lookfor the signs of spring that are poppingout all around. Lawns are turning greener,leaf buds are appearing on trees and leaf-ing out, and even flowers are poking theirheads up.

Gardening can have many benefits forseniors. Gardening is an enjoyable pastimefor many while providing exercise formobility, flexibility, and use of motor skills.It allows you to stay active and productive.Other beneficial aspects of gardening arehelping to improve strength and endurance.However, it is a good idea to perform somewarming-up stretchs before starting yourgardening activities so as to reduce anymuscle soreness you may experience lateron. It’s important to take caution and followsome safety rules, such as:

Drink plenty of liquids to keep yourbody well hydrated. (Avoid alcohol)

Be sure to take care of cuts, bruises,scrapes, and insect bites right away to helpavoid infections. If you start to see signsof redness or swelling, seek treatment.

Try to work in the garden early in theday or late in the day to avoid the hot, mid-day sun and heat.

Wear comfortable clothes and shoes,and add gloves to protect your hands anda hat to protect from the sun.

Use sunscreen to protect against sunburnand sun damage.

Keep gardening tools sharp, well oiled,and in good working condition. This willhelp your tools to work easier with less resis-tance, making it easier on you.

It’s also important to know and respectyour personal limitations. When you start tofeel fatigued, take a break. Drink some flu-ids and have a snack to replenish the body.Avoid taking on tasks that are too large.Consider whether or not the task must bedone or ask for assistance or possible hireit done. Then tackle the jobs you can doeasily and enjoy. Doing just a little eachday will reap great rewards for your body,spirit, and garden! ST

Life…by Kathy M. Bryant


On May 1, 1967, when the 100-bed Ormond Beach Memorial Hospital opened its doors to our community, the Auxiliary was there, offering service in areas including the front desk, X-ray, emergency department and gift shop.

In its 45-year history, the Auxiliary has donated nearly $4 million to the hospital, helping support patient services, equipment investments, nursing education and the construction of new facilities. As our hospital continues expanding to meet the needs of our community, our Auxiliary will be there, supporting the health of our community and the comfort of our patients.

Ormond Beach octogenarian SamHossler has released his seventhand eight novels, the SilversmithChronicles and Beasts Of The

Frontier. Hossler’s earlier books were his-torical fiction, with actual places, events,and people woven into stories of the 1700s.The new books are a departure from thisand delve into fantasy in the 1800s.

The scene is set in the rolling hills ofwestern Pennsylvania. Farm animals werebeing slaughtered by an unknown beast.Jake Housa’s farm had lost a good part oftheir sheep herd. It was time to find andkill this unknown animal. With his friendNed Duncan they set a trap. Their adversaryturned out to be more than they could han-dle. Werewolves were thought to be talesto scare kids, they now know better.

The sequel to this story is Beasts Of TheFrontier. Ned and Jake decide to go on awinter hunting trip. As they travel up riverhuge foot prints are found. Thought to be agiant bear it became the object of theirhunt. Continuing up river they find a familywhere the husband had disappeared whilehunting. Taking the family to relatives fur-ther up river the boys continually find evi-dence of this strange beast. The huntersbecome the hunted.

Author Sam Hossler sold his first mag-azine story in 1966 and that was the begin-ning of a lifelong love affair with puttingwords on paper. Over the years he has writ-

ten literally hundreds of articles and columnsas a free lancer and newspaper reporter.

A graduate of the Uni-versity of Pittsburgh in Nat-ural Science it was naturalthat he focused his writingon outdoor subjects, fishing,hunting, and hiking. Thiswas enlarged to include sometravel articles later in hiscareer. His early books, TheSummer Of 1763, The GreatLand Grab, and A Blood-

stained Land are historical fiction cover-ing life in western Pennsylvania duringthe 1700s. His aim is to bring history alive,not the dry dates and events of high schoolhistory class. To achieve this he researcheditems from old newspapers, letters, andfamily histories. These were then woveninto an exciting story based on actual events.

Hossler’s last two books depart fromthe historical fiction, but not too far. Againactual places of the early 1800s were woveninto the stories. He has been pleased withthe reviews saying the stories may beenjoyed by not only the younger crowdbut everyone. Both of his new books aresuitable for ages twelve and up. ST

ST PALs (Seniors Today Professional Advertising League)


When I was diagnosed withbreast cancer at the age of44, my biggest concernwas how my teens, Kait-

lyn and Donovan, would take the news,and how they would adapt to having a sickmom around the house. I was not so muchconcerned about my 6-year-old, Ben, whohas autism. With his very weak verbal skills,I reasoned that Ben would not really under-stand what was happening. Even if he didcomprehend my illness, I figured that beingin a world of his own, he wouldn't reallybe bothered by my plight. I couldn't havebeen more wrong!

While he says very little, Ben recentlylearned to use the computer to express him-self. Several times during my illness, hesurprised me by bringing me typewrittennotes (done without prompting) with mes-sages like: “Dear Mom, you are nice,” and“Dear Mom, I love you.” Sometimes Iwould find his notes lying around the house,with messages such as, “Mom is sick,” or“Mom is hurt.”

On a rare occasion, Ben will catch meoff guard by speaking a full, meaningfulsentence. Never was I more surprised thanone night while putting him to bed, whenhe said to me: “Good night. Guardian angels

watch over you and protect you.” It hap-pened to be on the day I was diagnosed withbreast cancer.

While Ben is not an affectionate childby nature, he seemed to relax his rules alittle during my illness. On days that I wasconfined to the bed or the couch, he wouldoften come to me for a cuddle. One day,shortly after my diagnosis, Ben and I werealone in the house when a freak springsnowstorm hit. Ben, sensing my sadness,came to me for one of our rare cuddle ses-sions. As we lay on the couch, lookingthrough the window at the blowing snow,Ben pointed to the sky and said, “Look, arainbow.” This took me by surprise, as Ben,like many children with autism, is not oneto use his imagination in this way. I asked,“Where is the rainbow?” Again, he pointedto the sky and said, “A rainbow.” I suddenlyfelt a sense of peace, as I took this as a signthat everything would be okay and therewould be a rainbow at the end of my storm.

After a very difficult year of cancer treat-ments, I am happy to say that I am nowcancer-free, and as I reflect on the experi-ence, I can say that seeing this new side ofBen has certainly been one of the perks ofhaving cancer.
