Beckerich displays his banner of sponsors at high camp (19,600 feet) of Aconcagua Peak, Argentina. By Lori Van Ingen Avid might be a tame word to describe James “Jim” Beckerich’s love of climbing. Beckerich, who was a high school mathematics teacher for 36 years, as well as a men’s soccer and baseball and co-ed floor hockey coach, enjoyed having his summers free. It gave him the opportunity to follow his passion. Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Mount Everest base camp, Machu Picchu in Peru, Ixta and Orizaba in Mexico, and Cotopaxi in Ecuador—the 67-year- old has conquered them all. And just last year, Beckerich climbed to 19,600 feet at Aconcagua Peak, the highest peak in South America and only second in the world to Mount Everest, before running out of gas, just shy of reaching the summit. But, he said, “there are amazing peaks right here in the United States.” Besides these adventures, for two months every summer, Beckerich takes his Nissan, with his climbing gear and clothes, and drives to the Colorado peaks—where he has climbed 40 of the 14,000-foot peaks—or other peaks Retired Teacher Has Scaled Some of World’s Tallest Peaks Adventures from on High Lancaster County Edition October 2014 Vol. 20 No. 10 PRSRT STD U.S. POSTAGE PAID PERMIT 280 LANC., PA 17604 LANCASTER COUNTY Inside: See page 17! please see ADVENTURES page 36 How to Make an Online Memorial page 12 Art and Antiques: Repurposing Ideas page 41 Inside:

Dan Cooper grew up in EastLiverpool Ohio the son of aNavy officer dad Unlike

most sixth-graders Cooper knewexactly that he wanted to do with hislife

That early he had his eyes set onattending the US Naval Academyand becoming a naval officer Andinstead of just dreaming about it heknuckled down and prepared for itseriously studying and gaining thebroadest knowledge he could get

When he graduated from highschool in 1952 he was first turneddown for an appointment because hewas unable to pass the eye test So heattended Washington amp JeffersonCollege for a year before he was ableto gain a waiver for his eyes andbecome a plebe at the naval academy

Graduating in 1957 he spent 18months as an ensign aboard anamphibious ship before he was able tovolunteer for submarine service Aftersix months in submarine school hespent three years as a junior officer atsea on a diesel submarine after whichhe was selected to spend a year atHarvard studying internationalrelations

ldquoThenrdquo Cooper says ldquoI was sentorders to be interviewed by AdmiralHyman Rickover who personally metand selected every officer going intothe Navy nuclear power programrdquo

How did that go ldquoNot real wellrdquo Cooper says ldquoThe

admiral had a very confrontationalstyle challenging everyone torealize how rough the jobwould be and questioningfrankly whether theyrsquod be ableto handle it He asked mesternly why I wasnrsquot doingbetter

ldquoWhat I learned later wasthat this was his style Heapparently never met anyonethat he didnrsquot feel could dobetter And he let them know itin no uncertain termsrdquo he saysldquoIrsquoll be honest I hoped that as Ifurthered my career hewouldnrsquot be around

ldquoOnly later did I realize howmuch he meant to developing a

safe nuclear Navy He was tenaciouspatriotic absolutely dedicated andsupremely gifted in all the other wayshe had to be in order the fashion thenuclear Navy we have today FranklyI canrsquot think of one other person whocould have pulled that offrdquo

In 1966 Cooper became executiveofficer on the USS Simon Bolivar anuclear-powered ballistic submarinethat was longer than a football fieldIt carried 16 Poseidon nuclear missilesand had two separate crews of 14officers and 126 enlisted menRotating the crewsrsquo time aboardallowed a much greater time at sea inthe subrsquos mission of providing nucleardeterrence

Cooper served for two years aboardthe Simon Bolivar before he was

assigned as an aide to the vice chief ofnaval operations That was followedby two years as commanding officerof the USS Puffer (SSN-652) anuclear attack submarine operatingout of Pearl Harbor Then came threeyears as commander of a submarinesquadron home based in NewLondon Conn

In 1980 he was selected to flagrank (admiral) serving as comptrollersea systems command And after twoyears there he served for three yearsas budget officer for the Navy Hecontinued to get moreresponsibilities becoming director ofnavy program planning andbudgeting and being promoted tovice admiral (three stars)

In 1986 he became commandersubmarine forces Atlantic fleet Thenit was back to Washington again toserve for three years as assistant chiefof naval operations for underseawarfare his last post before retiringfrom the Navy in 1991

As an aside he recalls that whenthe film The Hunt for Red October wasto be filmed the script came to hisoffice to make sure it revealed nothingclassified

He says ldquoI took the script home toread and told them the next day thatit revealed nothing classified and thatexcept for one off-color story thatdidnrsquot reflect well on the Navy I sawit as a fine G-rated film that Irsquod becomfortable in having my wife orgrandmother seerdquo

What Do You Say to Admiral RickoverWhen He Barks at You

Did they delete that story beforereleasing the film With a smile he saysldquoThey didrdquo

You might think that after sheddingall the responsibilities he shoulderedduring his Navy days retirement wouldbecome time for a life of relaxation hellipand perhaps some serious golf But whenhe was offered the job of undersecretaryfor veterans benefits Department ofVeterans Affairs he felt he had to say yes

During his six years in that positionhe testified before congressionalcommittees several times a year That hadbeen a common experience for himduring all his years in Washington whenhe testified before Congress frequently asa submariner and navy budget officer

He also remembers vividly the time

when a young senator named BarackObama asked him for a personal briefingon the many aspects of the VA withwhich the senator needed to be familiar

After retiring a second time in 2008Cooper did a detailed analysis ofretirement communities and found onein Central Pennsylvania where he and hiswife Betty came in 2012 to live inretirement

As can be expected his ldquoretirementrdquo isso full of activities that most peoplewould consider it going full throttle Andhe reflects that itrsquos frosting on the cakethat so many other Navy men havediscovered the same retirementcommunity

Learning a LanguageBenefits Cognition

If yoursquore concerned about sufferingfrom Alzheimerrsquos disease or other formsof dementia as you grow older you mightwant to try learning a foreign language

Scientists at the University ofEdinburgh studied data on 835 nativeEnglish speakers living in or nearEdinburgh Scotland They found that

those who had learned a second languageeven as adults had better cognitive skillsthan those who were monolingual

The research was published in thejournal Annals of Neurology and suggeststhat acquiring a second language evenlate in life can be a practical mental-health benefit as people age

Traveltizers Travel Appetizers Stories that Whet the Appetite for Travel

By Andrea Gross

Therersquos no doubtabout it If I livedin the days before

air conditioning and hadoodles of cash to spare Itoo would escape thesweltering summers ofNew York City by buildinga mega-mansion in theHudson River Valley

I would have it designedby one of the top architectsin the country decoratedwith the finest art and antiques andsurrounded by formal gardens equal to orbetter than those in Europe

As the weather heated up and thewinter social season wound down myfamily and I would leave our Manhattanhome take a steamshipmdashor possibly arailroadmdashto the east bank of theHudson and move into our 50- or 60-or 70-room manor house

Once we were comfortably ensconced

wersquod picnic and party until the weathercooled and it was time to move back tothe city

During the late 19th and early 20th

centuries this seasonal migration was derigueur for financially successful andsocially prominent New Yorkers Themen who were mostly self-madeentrepreneurs or the scions of self-madeentrepreneurs wanted to live as thoughthey had in both the literal and

figurative sense been to the manor born Many of their opulent estates are now

open to the public and are located withinthe Hudson River Valley NationalHeritage Area a 150-mile swath of landthat runs from Troy (just north ofAlbany) to New York City

My husband and I anchor ourselves inthe Mid-Hudson region of DutchessCounty which contains the summerhomes of the most interesting or at least

the most well known of thesuper-elites

The Vanderbilt MansionOur first stop the

Vanderbilt Mansion ownedby Frederick Vanderbiltgrandson of railroad baronCornelius ldquoCommodorerdquoVanderbilt

As we tour the mansionthe guide tells us that atGrandparsquos death in 1877 hewas worth $105 millionwhich if converted into

todayrsquos dollars would make him almostfour times as rich as Bill Gates

When I hear this Irsquom surprised thatthe house although filled with carvedceilings marble columns heavy drapesand delicate tapestries has only 54rooms

ldquoThis is the smallest of theVanderbiltsrsquo 40-plus homesrdquo explains theguide ldquoHis relatives called it lsquoUncleFreddiersquos cottage on the Hudsonrsquordquo

The Vanderbilt Mansion gives a wholenew meaning to the word cottage

Springwood Top Cottage and Val-KillThe nearby homes of Franklin and

Eleanor Roosevelt are more modest whentaken individually but the propertywhich comprises The Franklin DRoosevelt National Historic Site at HydePark contains three separate homes

Springwood where FDR spent manyof his pre-presidential years is a mere20000 square feet and the antiques andart are mixed with family mementos Ofcourse the stuffed birds collected by thechild of the family might be lessinteresting had that child not grown upto be president of the United States

After FDRrsquos father died the home andsurrounding land passed to SaraFranklinrsquos mother From that time onshe not only controlled the familymoney but to a large extent she alsocontrolled her only son

For example before allowing him tobuild a small retreat on a heavily woodedpart of the property she made himpromise that he would never spend thenight in that house She worried that ifhe needed medical attention anambulance might find it difficult tonavigate the forest roads in the dark

Roosevelt who at that time wasprobably the most important man in the

world protested but eventually agreed tohis motherrsquos demands and Top Cottagewhich is a cottage in the traditional ratherthan the Vanderbiltian sense of the wordwas built in 1938

Our 32nd president says our guidemay have had his way with world leadersbut not with his own mother

The only part of the estate that wasnrsquotunder Sararsquos direct control was Val-Kill

the Dutch Colonial home of EleanorRoosevelt She wanted cozy andcomfortable and that is exactly what shegot

The knotty pine walls are coveredwith photos of family and friends theoverstuffed chairs are mismatched andthe dishes on the table look exactly likethose used by many middle-classhousewives in the mid-20th centurymdashincluding my own mother-in-law

Wilderstein and Locust GroveWe tour two other estates Wilderstein

the home of Margaret ldquoDaisyrdquo Suckleywho was a distant cousin and ldquoclosefriendrdquo of Franklin RooseveltmdashldquoHowcloserdquo says the guide ldquois not knownrdquomdashand Locust Grove the home of SamuelMorse a man who is best remembered asthe inventor of the telegraph and thecode that bears his name

Wersquoll have to visit the other mansionson our next visit As wersquove learned theHudson Valley is the place to be in thesummer The mega-rich of yesteryearhave told us so

memorials My uncle recently passed awayand some of the family thought it would beneat to create an online memorial to paytribute to him and accommodate the manyfamily and friends who are scatteredaround the country and couldnrsquot attend hisfuneralndash Grieving Niece

Dear GrievingItrsquos a great idea Online memorials

have become increasingly popular overthe past decade as millions of peoplehave created them for their departed

loved ones as away torecognize andrememberthem

OnlineMemorialsAn online

memorial is awebsite createdfor a deceasedperson thatprovides acentral locationwhere their

family and friendscan visit to sharestories fondmemories andphotographs andto comfort oneanother and grieve

The memorialcan remain onlinefor life (or aspecific period oftime) allowingpeople to visit andcontribute anytime in the privacyof their own space

Online memorials started popping upon the Internet in the late 1990s butwere created primarily for people whowere well known But now these sitesare for anyone who wants to pay tributeto their departed family member orfriend and ensure they will beremembered

Content typically posted on an onlinememorial includes a biography picturesstories from family and friends andtimelines of key events in their lifealong with favorite music and evenvideos

offered by visitors to the site who wantto send their condolences and supportto the grieving party

An online memorial can also directvisitors to the departed personrsquos favoritecharity or cause to make a donation asan alternative to sending funeral flowers

How to Make OneTo make an online memorial you

can either create an independent websiteor use an established memorial sitewhich is what most people choose todo Memorial websites are very easy tocreate and personalize and can be donein less than 30 minutes

There are literally dozens of thesetypes of sites on the Internet today Tolocate them do an online search forldquoonline memorial websitesrdquo In themeantime here are a few good sites tocheck into

The biggest and most established sitein the industry is Legacycom whichalso publishes about 75 percent of theobituaries in North America each yearthrough its newspaper affiliationsCreating an online memorial throughthis site (see wwwmemorialwebsiteslegacycom) will run you $49 for the firstyear plus an annual $19 sponsorship feeto keep it visible

Some other popular sites to checkout are ForeverMissedcom whichoffers a free barebones option alongwith a premium plan that runs $35 peryear or $75 for life andiLastingcom which runs $49 per yearor $99 for permanent display

If yoursquore on a tight budgetconsider LifeStorycom which iscompletely free to use but requires youto log in through Facebook to get to itiMorialcom is free if you allow ads tobe posted on your unclersquos page or itcosts $50 without ads

Or if your uncle used Facebook youcan also turn his profile into a

memorial for free when you show proofof death

Once his page is memorialized hissensitive information will be removedand his birthday notifications will stopbut (depending on his privacy settings)it still enables family and friends to postmemories and condolences

In addition you can also request aLook Back video which is a short videocreated by Facebook highlighting yourunclersquos pictures and most liked statusmessages

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Dan Cooper grew up in EastLiverpool Ohio the son of aNavy officer dad Unlike

most sixth-graders Cooper knewexactly that he wanted to do with hislife

That early he had his eyes set onattending the US Naval Academyand becoming a naval officer Andinstead of just dreaming about it heknuckled down and prepared for itseriously studying and gaining thebroadest knowledge he could get

When he graduated from highschool in 1952 he was first turneddown for an appointment because hewas unable to pass the eye test So heattended Washington amp JeffersonCollege for a year before he was ableto gain a waiver for his eyes andbecome a plebe at the naval academy

Graduating in 1957 he spent 18months as an ensign aboard anamphibious ship before he was able tovolunteer for submarine service Aftersix months in submarine school hespent three years as a junior officer atsea on a diesel submarine after whichhe was selected to spend a year atHarvard studying internationalrelations

ldquoThenrdquo Cooper says ldquoI was sentorders to be interviewed by AdmiralHyman Rickover who personally metand selected every officer going intothe Navy nuclear power programrdquo

How did that go ldquoNot real wellrdquo Cooper says ldquoThe

admiral had a very confrontationalstyle challenging everyone torealize how rough the jobwould be and questioningfrankly whether theyrsquod be ableto handle it He asked mesternly why I wasnrsquot doingbetter

ldquoWhat I learned later wasthat this was his style Heapparently never met anyonethat he didnrsquot feel could dobetter And he let them know itin no uncertain termsrdquo he saysldquoIrsquoll be honest I hoped that as Ifurthered my career hewouldnrsquot be around

ldquoOnly later did I realize howmuch he meant to developing a

safe nuclear Navy He was tenaciouspatriotic absolutely dedicated andsupremely gifted in all the other wayshe had to be in order the fashion thenuclear Navy we have today FranklyI canrsquot think of one other person whocould have pulled that offrdquo

In 1966 Cooper became executiveofficer on the USS Simon Bolivar anuclear-powered ballistic submarinethat was longer than a football fieldIt carried 16 Poseidon nuclear missilesand had two separate crews of 14officers and 126 enlisted menRotating the crewsrsquo time aboardallowed a much greater time at sea inthe subrsquos mission of providing nucleardeterrence

Cooper served for two years aboardthe Simon Bolivar before he was

assigned as an aide to the vice chief ofnaval operations That was followedby two years as commanding officerof the USS Puffer (SSN-652) anuclear attack submarine operatingout of Pearl Harbor Then came threeyears as commander of a submarinesquadron home based in NewLondon Conn

In 1980 he was selected to flagrank (admiral) serving as comptrollersea systems command And after twoyears there he served for three yearsas budget officer for the Navy Hecontinued to get moreresponsibilities becoming director ofnavy program planning andbudgeting and being promoted tovice admiral (three stars)

In 1986 he became commandersubmarine forces Atlantic fleet Thenit was back to Washington again toserve for three years as assistant chiefof naval operations for underseawarfare his last post before retiringfrom the Navy in 1991

As an aside he recalls that whenthe film The Hunt for Red October wasto be filmed the script came to hisoffice to make sure it revealed nothingclassified

He says ldquoI took the script home toread and told them the next day thatit revealed nothing classified and thatexcept for one off-color story thatdidnrsquot reflect well on the Navy I sawit as a fine G-rated film that Irsquod becomfortable in having my wife orgrandmother seerdquo

You might think that after sheddingall the responsibilities he shoulderedduring his Navy days retirement wouldbecome time for a life of relaxation hellipand perhaps some serious golf But whenhe was offered the job of undersecretaryfor veterans benefits Department ofVeterans Affairs he felt he had to say yes

During his six years in that positionhe testified before congressionalcommittees several times a year That hadbeen a common experience for himduring all his years in Washington whenhe testified before Congress frequently asa submariner and navy budget officer

He also remembers vividly the time

when a young senator named BarackObama asked him for a personal briefingon the many aspects of the VA withwhich the senator needed to be familiar

If yoursquore concerned about sufferingfrom Alzheimerrsquos disease or other formsof dementia as you grow older you mightwant to try learning a foreign language

Scientists at the University ofEdinburgh studied data on 835 nativeEnglish speakers living in or nearEdinburgh Scotland They found that

those who had learned a second languageeven as adults had better cognitive skillsthan those who were monolingual

Traveltizers Travel Appetizers Stories that Whet the Appetite for Travel

By Andrea Gross

Therersquos no doubtabout it If I livedin the days before

air conditioning and hadoodles of cash to spare Itoo would escape thesweltering summers ofNew York City by buildinga mega-mansion in theHudson River Valley

I would have it designedby one of the top architectsin the country decoratedwith the finest art and antiques andsurrounded by formal gardens equal to orbetter than those in Europe

As the weather heated up and thewinter social season wound down myfamily and I would leave our Manhattanhome take a steamshipmdashor possibly arailroadmdashto the east bank of theHudson and move into our 50- or 60-or 70-room manor house

Once we were comfortably ensconced

wersquod picnic and party until the weathercooled and it was time to move back tothe city

During the late 19th and early 20th

centuries this seasonal migration was derigueur for financially successful andsocially prominent New Yorkers Themen who were mostly self-madeentrepreneurs or the scions of self-madeentrepreneurs wanted to live as thoughthey had in both the literal and

figurative sense been to the manor born Many of their opulent estates are now

open to the public and are located withinthe Hudson River Valley NationalHeritage Area a 150-mile swath of landthat runs from Troy (just north ofAlbany) to New York City

My husband and I anchor ourselves inthe Mid-Hudson region of DutchessCounty which contains the summerhomes of the most interesting or at least

the most well known of thesuper-elites

The Vanderbilt MansionOur first stop the

Vanderbilt Mansion ownedby Frederick Vanderbiltgrandson of railroad baronCornelius ldquoCommodorerdquoVanderbilt

As we tour the mansionthe guide tells us that atGrandparsquos death in 1877 hewas worth $105 millionwhich if converted into

todayrsquos dollars would make him almostfour times as rich as Bill Gates

When I hear this Irsquom surprised thatthe house although filled with carvedceilings marble columns heavy drapesand delicate tapestries has only 54rooms

ldquoThis is the smallest of theVanderbiltsrsquo 40-plus homesrdquo explains theguide ldquoHis relatives called it lsquoUncleFreddiersquos cottage on the Hudsonrsquordquo

The Vanderbilt Mansion gives a wholenew meaning to the word cottage

Springwood Top Cottage and Val-KillThe nearby homes of Franklin and

Eleanor Roosevelt are more modest whentaken individually but the propertywhich comprises The Franklin DRoosevelt National Historic Site at HydePark contains three separate homes

Springwood where FDR spent manyof his pre-presidential years is a mere20000 square feet and the antiques andart are mixed with family mementos Ofcourse the stuffed birds collected by thechild of the family might be lessinteresting had that child not grown upto be president of the United States

After FDRrsquos father died the home andsurrounding land passed to SaraFranklinrsquos mother From that time onshe not only controlled the familymoney but to a large extent she alsocontrolled her only son

For example before allowing him tobuild a small retreat on a heavily woodedpart of the property she made himpromise that he would never spend thenight in that house She worried that ifhe needed medical attention anambulance might find it difficult tonavigate the forest roads in the dark

Roosevelt who at that time wasprobably the most important man in the

world protested but eventually agreed tohis motherrsquos demands and Top Cottagewhich is a cottage in the traditional ratherthan the Vanderbiltian sense of the wordwas built in 1938

Our 32nd president says our guidemay have had his way with world leadersbut not with his own mother

The only part of the estate that wasnrsquotunder Sararsquos direct control was Val-Kill

the Dutch Colonial home of EleanorRoosevelt She wanted cozy andcomfortable and that is exactly what shegot

The knotty pine walls are coveredwith photos of family and friends theoverstuffed chairs are mismatched andthe dishes on the table look exactly likethose used by many middle-classhousewives in the mid-20th centurymdashincluding my own mother-in-law

Wilderstein and Locust GroveWe tour two other estates Wilderstein

the home of Margaret ldquoDaisyrdquo Suckleywho was a distant cousin and ldquoclosefriendrdquo of Franklin RooseveltmdashldquoHowcloserdquo says the guide ldquois not knownrdquomdashand Locust Grove the home of SamuelMorse a man who is best remembered asthe inventor of the telegraph and thecode that bears his name

Wersquoll have to visit the other mansionson our next visit As wersquove learned theHudson Valley is the place to be in thesummer The mega-rich of yesteryearhave told us so

Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt areburied in a garden on the Hyde Park

property

Springwood which was purchased byFDRrsquos father in 1866 and updated many

times thereafter was modest compared tothe estates of its neighbors

Eleanor Rooseveltrsquos home Val-Kill isthe only National Historic Site

Locust Grove Estate was owned bySamuel Morse from 1847 to 1872

He was an outstanding painter but isbest remembered as the inventor of

offered by visitors to the site who wantto send their condolences and supportto the grieving party

An online memorial can also directvisitors to the departed personrsquos favoritecharity or cause to make a donation asan alternative to sending funeral flowers

How to Make OneTo make an online memorial you

can either create an independent websiteor use an established memorial sitewhich is what most people choose todo Memorial websites are very easy tocreate and personalize and can be donein less than 30 minutes

There are literally dozens of thesetypes of sites on the Internet today Tolocate them do an online search forldquoonline memorial websitesrdquo In themeantime here are a few good sites tocheck into

The biggest and most established sitein the industry is Legacycom whichalso publishes about 75 percent of theobituaries in North America each yearthrough its newspaper affiliationsCreating an online memorial throughthis site (see wwwmemorialwebsiteslegacycom) will run you $49 for the firstyear plus an annual $19 sponsorship feeto keep it visible

Some other popular sites to checkout are ForeverMissedcom whichoffers a free barebones option alongwith a premium plan that runs $35 peryear or $75 for life andiLastingcom which runs $49 per yearor $99 for permanent display

If yoursquore on a tight budgetconsider LifeStorycom which iscompletely free to use but requires youto log in through Facebook to get to itiMorialcom is free if you allow ads tobe posted on your unclersquos page or itcosts $50 without ads

Or if your uncle used Facebook youcan also turn his profile into a

memorial for free when you show proofof death

Once his page is memorialized hissensitive information will be removedand his birthday notifications will stopbut (depending on his privacy settings)it still enables family and friends to postmemories and condolences

In addition you can also request aLook Back video which is a short videocreated by Facebook highlighting yourunclersquos pictures and most liked statusmessages

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Dan Cooper grew up in EastLiverpool Ohio the son of aNavy officer dad Unlike

most sixth-graders Cooper knewexactly that he wanted to do with hislife

That early he had his eyes set onattending the US Naval Academyand becoming a naval officer Andinstead of just dreaming about it heknuckled down and prepared for itseriously studying and gaining thebroadest knowledge he could get

When he graduated from highschool in 1952 he was first turneddown for an appointment because hewas unable to pass the eye test So heattended Washington amp JeffersonCollege for a year before he was ableto gain a waiver for his eyes andbecome a plebe at the naval academy

Graduating in 1957 he spent 18months as an ensign aboard anamphibious ship before he was able tovolunteer for submarine service Aftersix months in submarine school hespent three years as a junior officer atsea on a diesel submarine after whichhe was selected to spend a year atHarvard studying internationalrelations

ldquoThenrdquo Cooper says ldquoI was sentorders to be interviewed by AdmiralHyman Rickover who personally metand selected every officer going intothe Navy nuclear power programrdquo

How did that go ldquoNot real wellrdquo Cooper says ldquoThe

admiral had a very confrontationalstyle challenging everyone torealize how rough the jobwould be and questioningfrankly whether theyrsquod be ableto handle it He asked mesternly why I wasnrsquot doingbetter

ldquoWhat I learned later wasthat this was his style Heapparently never met anyonethat he didnrsquot feel could dobetter And he let them know itin no uncertain termsrdquo he saysldquoIrsquoll be honest I hoped that as Ifurthered my career hewouldnrsquot be around

ldquoOnly later did I realize howmuch he meant to developing a

safe nuclear Navy He was tenaciouspatriotic absolutely dedicated andsupremely gifted in all the other wayshe had to be in order the fashion thenuclear Navy we have today FranklyI canrsquot think of one other person whocould have pulled that offrdquo

In 1966 Cooper became executiveofficer on the USS Simon Bolivar anuclear-powered ballistic submarinethat was longer than a football fieldIt carried 16 Poseidon nuclear missilesand had two separate crews of 14officers and 126 enlisted menRotating the crewsrsquo time aboardallowed a much greater time at sea inthe subrsquos mission of providing nucleardeterrence

Cooper served for two years aboardthe Simon Bolivar before he was

assigned as an aide to the vice chief ofnaval operations That was followedby two years as commanding officerof the USS Puffer (SSN-652) anuclear attack submarine operatingout of Pearl Harbor Then came threeyears as commander of a submarinesquadron home based in NewLondon Conn

In 1980 he was selected to flagrank (admiral) serving as comptrollersea systems command And after twoyears there he served for three yearsas budget officer for the Navy Hecontinued to get moreresponsibilities becoming director ofnavy program planning andbudgeting and being promoted tovice admiral (three stars)

In 1986 he became commandersubmarine forces Atlantic fleet Thenit was back to Washington again toserve for three years as assistant chiefof naval operations for underseawarfare his last post before retiringfrom the Navy in 1991

As an aside he recalls that whenthe film The Hunt for Red October wasto be filmed the script came to hisoffice to make sure it revealed nothingclassified

He says ldquoI took the script home toread and told them the next day thatit revealed nothing classified and thatexcept for one off-color story thatdidnrsquot reflect well on the Navy I sawit as a fine G-rated film that Irsquod becomfortable in having my wife orgrandmother seerdquo

What Do You Say to Admiral RickoverWhen He Barks at You

Did they delete that story beforereleasing the film With a smile he saysldquoThey didrdquo

You might think that after sheddingall the responsibilities he shoulderedduring his Navy days retirement wouldbecome time for a life of relaxation hellipand perhaps some serious golf But whenhe was offered the job of undersecretaryfor veterans benefits Department ofVeterans Affairs he felt he had to say yes

During his six years in that positionhe testified before congressionalcommittees several times a year That hadbeen a common experience for himduring all his years in Washington whenhe testified before Congress frequently asa submariner and navy budget officer

He also remembers vividly the time

when a young senator named BarackObama asked him for a personal briefingon the many aspects of the VA withwhich the senator needed to be familiar

After retiring a second time in 2008Cooper did a detailed analysis ofretirement communities and found onein Central Pennsylvania where he and hiswife Betty came in 2012 to live inretirement

As can be expected his ldquoretirementrdquo isso full of activities that most peoplewould consider it going full throttle Andhe reflects that itrsquos frosting on the cakethat so many other Navy men havediscovered the same retirementcommunity

If yoursquore concerned about sufferingfrom Alzheimerrsquos disease or other formsof dementia as you grow older you mightwant to try learning a foreign language

Traveltizers Travel Appetizers Stories that Whet the Appetite for Travel

By Andrea Gross

Therersquos no doubtabout it If I livedin the days before

air conditioning and hadoodles of cash to spare Itoo would escape thesweltering summers ofNew York City by buildinga mega-mansion in theHudson River Valley

I would have it designedby one of the top architectsin the country decoratedwith the finest art and antiques andsurrounded by formal gardens equal to orbetter than those in Europe

As the weather heated up and thewinter social season wound down myfamily and I would leave our Manhattanhome take a steamshipmdashor possibly arailroadmdashto the east bank of theHudson and move into our 50- or 60-or 70-room manor house

Once we were comfortably ensconced

wersquod picnic and party until the weathercooled and it was time to move back tothe city

During the late 19th and early 20th

centuries this seasonal migration was derigueur for financially successful andsocially prominent New Yorkers Themen who were mostly self-madeentrepreneurs or the scions of self-madeentrepreneurs wanted to live as thoughthey had in both the literal and

figurative sense been to the manor born Many of their opulent estates are now

open to the public and are located withinthe Hudson River Valley NationalHeritage Area a 150-mile swath of landthat runs from Troy (just north ofAlbany) to New York City

My husband and I anchor ourselves inthe Mid-Hudson region of DutchessCounty which contains the summerhomes of the most interesting or at least

the most well known of thesuper-elites

The Vanderbilt MansionOur first stop the

Vanderbilt Mansion ownedby Frederick Vanderbiltgrandson of railroad baronCornelius ldquoCommodorerdquoVanderbilt

As we tour the mansionthe guide tells us that atGrandparsquos death in 1877 hewas worth $105 millionwhich if converted into

todayrsquos dollars would make him almostfour times as rich as Bill Gates

When I hear this Irsquom surprised thatthe house although filled with carvedceilings marble columns heavy drapesand delicate tapestries has only 54rooms

ldquoThis is the smallest of theVanderbiltsrsquo 40-plus homesrdquo explains theguide ldquoHis relatives called it lsquoUncleFreddiersquos cottage on the Hudsonrsquordquo

New Yorkrsquos moneyed class likedto build summer estates along

the Hudson River

furnished as befitted the wealthiestfamily in America

The Vanderbilt Mansion gives a wholenew meaning to the word cottage

Springwood Top Cottage and Val-KillThe nearby homes of Franklin and

Eleanor Roosevelt are more modest whentaken individually but the propertywhich comprises The Franklin DRoosevelt National Historic Site at HydePark contains three separate homes

Springwood where FDR spent manyof his pre-presidential years is a mere20000 square feet and the antiques andart are mixed with family mementos Ofcourse the stuffed birds collected by thechild of the family might be lessinteresting had that child not grown upto be president of the United States

After FDRrsquos father died the home andsurrounding land passed to SaraFranklinrsquos mother From that time onshe not only controlled the familymoney but to a large extent she alsocontrolled her only son

For example before allowing him tobuild a small retreat on a heavily woodedpart of the property she made himpromise that he would never spend thenight in that house She worried that ifhe needed medical attention anambulance might find it difficult tonavigate the forest roads in the dark

Roosevelt who at that time wasprobably the most important man in the

world protested but eventually agreed tohis motherrsquos demands and Top Cottagewhich is a cottage in the traditional ratherthan the Vanderbiltian sense of the wordwas built in 1938

Our 32nd president says our guidemay have had his way with world leadersbut not with his own mother

The only part of the estate that wasnrsquotunder Sararsquos direct control was Val-Kill

the Dutch Colonial home of EleanorRoosevelt She wanted cozy andcomfortable and that is exactly what shegot

The knotty pine walls are coveredwith photos of family and friends theoverstuffed chairs are mismatched andthe dishes on the table look exactly likethose used by many middle-classhousewives in the mid-20th centurymdashincluding my own mother-in-law

Wilderstein and Locust GroveWe tour two other estates Wilderstein

the home of Margaret ldquoDaisyrdquo Suckleywho was a distant cousin and ldquoclosefriendrdquo of Franklin RooseveltmdashldquoHowcloserdquo says the guide ldquois not knownrdquomdashand Locust Grove the home of SamuelMorse a man who is best remembered asthe inventor of the telegraph and thecode that bears his name

Wersquoll have to visit the other mansionson our next visit As wersquove learned theHudson Valley is the place to be in thesummer The mega-rich of yesteryearhave told us so

loved ones as away torecognize andrememberthem

An online memorial can also directvisitors to the departed personrsquos favoritecharity or cause to make a donation asan alternative to sending funeral flowers

How to Make OneTo make an online memorial you

can either create an independent websiteor use an established memorial sitewhich is what most people choose todo Memorial websites are very easy tocreate and personalize and can be donein less than 30 minutes

There are literally dozens of thesetypes of sites on the Internet today Tolocate them do an online search forldquoonline memorial websitesrdquo In themeantime here are a few good sites tocheck into

The biggest and most established sitein the industry is Legacycom whichalso publishes about 75 percent of theobituaries in North America each yearthrough its newspaper affiliationsCreating an online memorial throughthis site (see wwwmemorialwebsiteslegacycom) will run you $49 for the firstyear plus an annual $19 sponsorship feeto keep it visible

Some other popular sites to checkout are ForeverMissedcom whichoffers a free barebones option alongwith a premium plan that runs $35 peryear or $75 for life andiLastingcom which runs $49 per yearor $99 for permanent display

If yoursquore on a tight budgetconsider LifeStorycom which iscompletely free to use but requires youto log in through Facebook to get to itiMorialcom is free if you allow ads tobe posted on your unclersquos page or itcosts $50 without ads

Or if your uncle used Facebook youcan also turn his profile into a

memorial for free when you show proofof death

Once his page is memorialized hissensitive information will be removedand his birthday notifications will stopbut (depending on his privacy settings)it still enables family and friends to postmemories and condolences

In addition you can also request aLook Back video which is a short videocreated by Facebook highlighting yourunclersquos pictures and most liked statusmessages

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Dan Cooper grew up in EastLiverpool Ohio the son of aNavy officer dad Unlike

most sixth-graders Cooper knewexactly that he wanted to do with hislife

That early he had his eyes set onattending the US Naval Academyand becoming a naval officer Andinstead of just dreaming about it heknuckled down and prepared for itseriously studying and gaining thebroadest knowledge he could get

When he graduated from highschool in 1952 he was first turneddown for an appointment because hewas unable to pass the eye test So heattended Washington amp JeffersonCollege for a year before he was ableto gain a waiver for his eyes andbecome a plebe at the naval academy

Graduating in 1957 he spent 18months as an ensign aboard anamphibious ship before he was able tovolunteer for submarine service Aftersix months in submarine school hespent three years as a junior officer atsea on a diesel submarine after whichhe was selected to spend a year atHarvard studying internationalrelations

ldquoThenrdquo Cooper says ldquoI was sentorders to be interviewed by AdmiralHyman Rickover who personally metand selected every officer going intothe Navy nuclear power programrdquo

How did that go ldquoNot real wellrdquo Cooper says ldquoThe

admiral had a very confrontationalstyle challenging everyone torealize how rough the jobwould be and questioningfrankly whether theyrsquod be ableto handle it He asked mesternly why I wasnrsquot doingbetter

ldquoWhat I learned later wasthat this was his style Heapparently never met anyonethat he didnrsquot feel could dobetter And he let them know itin no uncertain termsrdquo he saysldquoIrsquoll be honest I hoped that as Ifurthered my career hewouldnrsquot be around

ldquoOnly later did I realize howmuch he meant to developing a

safe nuclear Navy He was tenaciouspatriotic absolutely dedicated andsupremely gifted in all the other wayshe had to be in order the fashion thenuclear Navy we have today FranklyI canrsquot think of one other person whocould have pulled that offrdquo

In 1966 Cooper became executiveofficer on the USS Simon Bolivar anuclear-powered ballistic submarinethat was longer than a football fieldIt carried 16 Poseidon nuclear missilesand had two separate crews of 14officers and 126 enlisted menRotating the crewsrsquo time aboardallowed a much greater time at sea inthe subrsquos mission of providing nucleardeterrence

Cooper served for two years aboardthe Simon Bolivar before he was

assigned as an aide to the vice chief ofnaval operations That was followedby two years as commanding officerof the USS Puffer (SSN-652) anuclear attack submarine operatingout of Pearl Harbor Then came threeyears as commander of a submarinesquadron home based in NewLondon Conn

In 1980 he was selected to flagrank (admiral) serving as comptrollersea systems command And after twoyears there he served for three yearsas budget officer for the Navy Hecontinued to get moreresponsibilities becoming director ofnavy program planning andbudgeting and being promoted tovice admiral (three stars)

In 1986 he became commandersubmarine forces Atlantic fleet Thenit was back to Washington again toserve for three years as assistant chiefof naval operations for underseawarfare his last post before retiringfrom the Navy in 1991

As an aside he recalls that whenthe film The Hunt for Red October wasto be filmed the script came to hisoffice to make sure it revealed nothingclassified

He says ldquoI took the script home toread and told them the next day thatit revealed nothing classified and thatexcept for one off-color story thatdidnrsquot reflect well on the Navy I sawit as a fine G-rated film that Irsquod becomfortable in having my wife orgrandmother seerdquo

What Do You Say to Admiral RickoverWhen He Barks at You

lsquoWhy arenrsquot you doing betterrsquoRobert D Wilcox

You might think that after sheddingall the responsibilities he shoulderedduring his Navy days retirement wouldbecome time for a life of relaxation hellipand perhaps some serious golf But whenhe was offered the job of undersecretaryfor veterans benefits Department ofVeterans Affairs he felt he had to say yes

During his six years in that positionhe testified before congressionalcommittees several times a year That hadbeen a common experience for himduring all his years in Washington whenhe testified before Congress frequently asa submariner and navy budget officer

He also remembers vividly the time

when a young senator named BarackObama asked him for a personal briefingon the many aspects of the VA withwhich the senator needed to be familiar

After retiring a second time in 2008Cooper did a detailed analysis ofretirement communities and found onein Central Pennsylvania where he and hiswife Betty came in 2012 to live inretirement

Traveltizers Travel Appetizers Stories that Whet the Appetite for Travel

By Andrea Gross

Therersquos no doubtabout it If I livedin the days before

air conditioning and hadoodles of cash to spare Itoo would escape thesweltering summers ofNew York City by buildinga mega-mansion in theHudson River Valley

I would have it designedby one of the top architectsin the country decoratedwith the finest art and antiques andsurrounded by formal gardens equal to orbetter than those in Europe

As the weather heated up and thewinter social season wound down myfamily and I would leave our Manhattanhome take a steamshipmdashor possibly arailroadmdashto the east bank of theHudson and move into our 50- or 60-or 70-room manor house

Once we were comfortably ensconced

wersquod picnic and party until the weathercooled and it was time to move back tothe city

During the late 19th and early 20th

centuries this seasonal migration was derigueur for financially successful andsocially prominent New Yorkers Themen who were mostly self-madeentrepreneurs or the scions of self-madeentrepreneurs wanted to live as thoughthey had in both the literal and

figurative sense been to the manor born Many of their opulent estates are now

open to the public and are located withinthe Hudson River Valley NationalHeritage Area a 150-mile swath of landthat runs from Troy (just north ofAlbany) to New York City

My husband and I anchor ourselves inthe Mid-Hudson region of DutchessCounty which contains the summerhomes of the most interesting or at least

the most well known of thesuper-elites

The Vanderbilt MansionOur first stop the

Vanderbilt Mansion ownedby Frederick Vanderbiltgrandson of railroad baronCornelius ldquoCommodorerdquoVanderbilt

As we tour the mansionthe guide tells us that atGrandparsquos death in 1877 hewas worth $105 millionwhich if converted into

todayrsquos dollars would make him almostfour times as rich as Bill Gates

When I hear this Irsquom surprised thatthe house although filled with carvedceilings marble columns heavy drapesand delicate tapestries has only 54rooms

ldquoThis is the smallest of theVanderbiltsrsquo 40-plus homesrdquo explains theguide ldquoHis relatives called it lsquoUncleFreddiersquos cottage on the Hudsonrsquordquo

Up Close with the Upper Class

New Yorkrsquos moneyed class likedto build summer estates along

the Hudson River

furnished as befitted the wealthiestfamily in America

The Vanderbilt Mansion gives a wholenew meaning to the word cottage

Springwood Top Cottage and Val-KillThe nearby homes of Franklin and

Eleanor Roosevelt are more modest whentaken individually but the propertywhich comprises The Franklin DRoosevelt National Historic Site at HydePark contains three separate homes

Springwood where FDR spent manyof his pre-presidential years is a mere20000 square feet and the antiques andart are mixed with family mementos Ofcourse the stuffed birds collected by thechild of the family might be lessinteresting had that child not grown upto be president of the United States

After FDRrsquos father died the home andsurrounding land passed to SaraFranklinrsquos mother From that time onshe not only controlled the familymoney but to a large extent she alsocontrolled her only son

For example before allowing him tobuild a small retreat on a heavily woodedpart of the property she made himpromise that he would never spend thenight in that house She worried that ifhe needed medical attention anambulance might find it difficult tonavigate the forest roads in the dark

Roosevelt who at that time wasprobably the most important man in the

world protested but eventually agreed tohis motherrsquos demands and Top Cottagewhich is a cottage in the traditional ratherthan the Vanderbiltian sense of the wordwas built in 1938

Our 32nd president says our guidemay have had his way with world leadersbut not with his own mother

The only part of the estate that wasnrsquotunder Sararsquos direct control was Val-Kill

the Dutch Colonial home of EleanorRoosevelt She wanted cozy andcomfortable and that is exactly what shegot

The knotty pine walls are coveredwith photos of family and friends theoverstuffed chairs are mismatched andthe dishes on the table look exactly likethose used by many middle-classhousewives in the mid-20th centurymdashincluding my own mother-in-law

Wilderstein and Locust GroveWe tour two other estates Wilderstein

the home of Margaret ldquoDaisyrdquo Suckleywho was a distant cousin and ldquoclosefriendrdquo of Franklin RooseveltmdashldquoHowcloserdquo says the guide ldquois not knownrdquomdashand Locust Grove the home of SamuelMorse a man who is best remembered asthe inventor of the telegraph and thecode that bears his name

Wersquoll have to visit the other mansionson our next visit As wersquove learned theHudson Valley is the place to be in thesummer The mega-rich of yesteryearhave told us so

Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt areburied in a garden on the Hyde Park

property

Springwood which was purchased byFDRrsquos father in 1866 and updated many

times thereafter was modest compared tothe estates of its neighbors

Eleanor Rooseveltrsquos home Val-Kill isthe only National Historic Site

Locust Grove Estate was owned bySamuel Morse from 1847 to 1872

He was an outstanding painter but isbest remembered as the inventor of

Dear GrievingItrsquos a great idea Online memorials

have become increasingly popular overthe past decade as millions of peoplehave created them for their departed

loved ones as away torecognize andrememberthem

OnlineMemorialsAn online

memorial is awebsite createdfor a deceasedperson thatprovides acentral locationwhere their

family and friendscan visit to sharestories fondmemories andphotographs andto comfort oneanother and grieve

The memorialcan remain onlinefor life (or aspecific period oftime) allowingpeople to visit andcontribute anytime in the privacyof their own space

Online memorials started popping upon the Internet in the late 1990s butwere created primarily for people whowere well known But now these sitesare for anyone who wants to pay tributeto their departed family member orfriend and ensure they will beremembered

offered by visitors to the site who wantto send their condolences and supportto the grieving party

An online memorial can also directvisitors to the departed personrsquos favoritecharity or cause to make a donation asan alternative to sending funeral flowers

How to Make OneTo make an online memorial you

can either create an independent websiteor use an established memorial sitewhich is what most people choose todo Memorial websites are very easy tocreate and personalize and can be donein less than 30 minutes

There are literally dozens of thesetypes of sites on the Internet today Tolocate them do an online search forldquoonline memorial websitesrdquo In themeantime here are a few good sites tocheck into

The biggest and most established sitein the industry is Legacycom whichalso publishes about 75 percent of theobituaries in North America each yearthrough its newspaper affiliationsCreating an online memorial throughthis site (see wwwmemorialwebsiteslegacycom) will run you $49 for the firstyear plus an annual $19 sponsorship feeto keep it visible

Some other popular sites to checkout are ForeverMissedcom whichoffers a free barebones option alongwith a premium plan that runs $35 peryear or $75 for life andiLastingcom which runs $49 per yearor $99 for permanent display

If yoursquore on a tight budgetconsider LifeStorycom which iscompletely free to use but requires youto log in through Facebook to get to itiMorialcom is free if you allow ads tobe posted on your unclersquos page or itcosts $50 without ads

Or if your uncle used Facebook youcan also turn his profile into a

memorial for free when you show proofof death

Once his page is memorialized hissensitive information will be removedand his birthday notifications will stopbut (depending on his privacy settings)it still enables family and friends to postmemories and condolences

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Did they delete that story beforereleasing the film With a smile he saysldquoThey didrdquo

You might think that after sheddingall the responsibilities he shoulderedduring his Navy days retirement wouldbecome time for a life of relaxation hellipand perhaps some serious golf But whenhe was offered the job of undersecretaryfor veterans benefits Department ofVeterans Affairs he felt he had to say yes

During his six years in that positionhe testified before congressionalcommittees several times a year That hadbeen a common experience for himduring all his years in Washington whenhe testified before Congress frequently asa submariner and navy budget officer

He also remembers vividly the time

when a young senator named BarackObama asked him for a personal briefingon the many aspects of the VA withwhich the senator needed to be familiar

After retiring a second time in 2008Cooper did a detailed analysis ofretirement communities and found onein Central Pennsylvania where he and hiswife Betty came in 2012 to live inretirement

As can be expected his ldquoretirementrdquo isso full of activities that most peoplewould consider it going full throttle Andhe reflects that itrsquos frosting on the cakethat so many other Navy men havediscovered the same retirementcommunity

Learning a LanguageBenefits Cognition

If yoursquore concerned about sufferingfrom Alzheimerrsquos disease or other formsof dementia as you grow older you mightwant to try learning a foreign language

Scientists at the University ofEdinburgh studied data on 835 nativeEnglish speakers living in or nearEdinburgh Scotland They found that

those who had learned a second languageeven as adults had better cognitive skillsthan those who were monolingual

The research was published in thejournal Annals of Neurology and suggeststhat acquiring a second language evenlate in life can be a practical mental-health benefit as people age

I would have it designedby one of the top architectsin the country decoratedwith the finest art and antiques andsurrounded by formal gardens equal to orbetter than those in Europe

As the weather heated up and thewinter social season wound down myfamily and I would leave our Manhattanhome take a steamshipmdashor possibly arailroadmdashto the east bank of theHudson and move into our 50- or 60-or 70-room manor house

figurative sense been to the manor born Many of their opulent estates are now

Vanderbilt Mansion ownedby Frederick Vanderbiltgrandson of railroad baronCornelius ldquoCommodorerdquoVanderbilt

As we tour the mansionthe guide tells us that atGrandparsquos death in 1877 hewas worth $105 millionwhich if converted into

todayrsquos dollars would make him almostfour times as rich as Bill Gates

When I hear this Irsquom surprised thatthe house although filled with carvedceilings marble columns heavy drapesand delicate tapestries has only 54rooms

ldquoThis is the smallest of theVanderbiltsrsquo 40-plus homesrdquo explains theguide ldquoHis relatives called it lsquoUncleFreddiersquos cottage on the Hudsonrsquordquo

The Vanderbilt Mansion gives a wholenew meaning to the word cottage

Springwood Top Cottage and Val-KillThe nearby homes of Franklin and

Eleanor Roosevelt are more modest whentaken individually but the propertywhich comprises The Franklin DRoosevelt National Historic Site at HydePark contains three separate homes

Springwood where FDR spent manyof his pre-presidential years is a mere20000 square feet and the antiques andart are mixed with family mementos Ofcourse the stuffed birds collected by thechild of the family might be lessinteresting had that child not grown upto be president of the United States

After FDRrsquos father died the home andsurrounding land passed to SaraFranklinrsquos mother From that time onshe not only controlled the familymoney but to a large extent she alsocontrolled her only son

For example before allowing him tobuild a small retreat on a heavily woodedpart of the property she made himpromise that he would never spend thenight in that house She worried that ifhe needed medical attention anambulance might find it difficult tonavigate the forest roads in the dark

Roosevelt who at that time wasprobably the most important man in the

world protested but eventually agreed tohis motherrsquos demands and Top Cottagewhich is a cottage in the traditional ratherthan the Vanderbiltian sense of the wordwas built in 1938

Our 32nd president says our guidemay have had his way with world leadersbut not with his own mother

The only part of the estate that wasnrsquotunder Sararsquos direct control was Val-Kill

the Dutch Colonial home of EleanorRoosevelt She wanted cozy andcomfortable and that is exactly what shegot

The knotty pine walls are coveredwith photos of family and friends theoverstuffed chairs are mismatched andthe dishes on the table look exactly likethose used by many middle-classhousewives in the mid-20th centurymdashincluding my own mother-in-law

Wilderstein and Locust GroveWe tour two other estates Wilderstein

the home of Margaret ldquoDaisyrdquo Suckleywho was a distant cousin and ldquoclosefriendrdquo of Franklin RooseveltmdashldquoHowcloserdquo says the guide ldquois not knownrdquomdashand Locust Grove the home of SamuelMorse a man who is best remembered asthe inventor of the telegraph and thecode that bears his name

Wersquoll have to visit the other mansionson our next visit As wersquove learned theHudson Valley is the place to be in thesummer The mega-rich of yesteryearhave told us so

memorials My uncle recently passed awayand some of the family thought it would beneat to create an online memorial to paytribute to him and accommodate the manyfamily and friends who are scatteredaround the country and couldnrsquot attend hisfuneralndash Grieving Niece

Dear GrievingItrsquos a great idea Online memorials

have become increasingly popular overthe past decade as millions of peoplehave created them for their departed

loved ones as away torecognize andrememberthem

OnlineMemorialsAn online

memorial is awebsite createdfor a deceasedperson thatprovides acentral locationwhere their

family and friendscan visit to sharestories fondmemories andphotographs andto comfort oneanother and grieve

The memorialcan remain onlinefor life (or aspecific period oftime) allowingpeople to visit andcontribute anytime in the privacyof their own space

Online memorials started popping upon the Internet in the late 1990s butwere created primarily for people whowere well known But now these sitesare for anyone who wants to pay tributeto their departed family member orfriend and ensure they will beremembered

An online memorial can also directvisitors to the departed personrsquos favoritecharity or cause to make a donation asan alternative to sending funeral flowers

How to Make OneTo make an online memorial you

can either create an independent websiteor use an established memorial sitewhich is what most people choose todo Memorial websites are very easy tocreate and personalize and can be donein less than 30 minutes

There are literally dozens of thesetypes of sites on the Internet today Tolocate them do an online search forldquoonline memorial websitesrdquo In themeantime here are a few good sites tocheck into

The biggest and most established sitein the industry is Legacycom whichalso publishes about 75 percent of theobituaries in North America each yearthrough its newspaper affiliationsCreating an online memorial throughthis site (see wwwmemorialwebsiteslegacycom) will run you $49 for the firstyear plus an annual $19 sponsorship feeto keep it visible

Some other popular sites to checkout are ForeverMissedcom whichoffers a free barebones option alongwith a premium plan that runs $35 peryear or $75 for life andiLastingcom which runs $49 per yearor $99 for permanent display

If yoursquore on a tight budgetconsider LifeStorycom which iscompletely free to use but requires youto log in through Facebook to get to itiMorialcom is free if you allow ads tobe posted on your unclersquos page or itcosts $50 without ads

Or if your uncle used Facebook youcan also turn his profile into a

memorial for free when you show proofof death

Once his page is memorialized hissensitive information will be removedand his birthday notifications will stopbut (depending on his privacy settings)it still enables family and friends to postmemories and condolences

In addition you can also request aLook Back video which is a short videocreated by Facebook highlighting yourunclersquos pictures and most liked statusmessages

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Traveltizers Travel Appetizers Stories that Whet the Appetite for Travel

By Andrea Gross

Therersquos no doubtabout it If I livedin the days before

air conditioning and hadoodles of cash to spare Itoo would escape thesweltering summers ofNew York City by buildinga mega-mansion in theHudson River Valley

I would have it designedby one of the top architectsin the country decoratedwith the finest art and antiques andsurrounded by formal gardens equal to orbetter than those in Europe

As the weather heated up and thewinter social season wound down myfamily and I would leave our Manhattanhome take a steamshipmdashor possibly arailroadmdashto the east bank of theHudson and move into our 50- or 60-or 70-room manor house

Once we were comfortably ensconced

wersquod picnic and party until the weathercooled and it was time to move back tothe city

During the late 19th and early 20th

centuries this seasonal migration was derigueur for financially successful andsocially prominent New Yorkers Themen who were mostly self-madeentrepreneurs or the scions of self-madeentrepreneurs wanted to live as thoughthey had in both the literal and

figurative sense been to the manor born Many of their opulent estates are now

open to the public and are located withinthe Hudson River Valley NationalHeritage Area a 150-mile swath of landthat runs from Troy (just north ofAlbany) to New York City

My husband and I anchor ourselves inthe Mid-Hudson region of DutchessCounty which contains the summerhomes of the most interesting or at least

the most well known of thesuper-elites

The Vanderbilt MansionOur first stop the

Vanderbilt Mansion ownedby Frederick Vanderbiltgrandson of railroad baronCornelius ldquoCommodorerdquoVanderbilt

As we tour the mansionthe guide tells us that atGrandparsquos death in 1877 hewas worth $105 millionwhich if converted into

todayrsquos dollars would make him almostfour times as rich as Bill Gates

When I hear this Irsquom surprised thatthe house although filled with carvedceilings marble columns heavy drapesand delicate tapestries has only 54rooms

ldquoThis is the smallest of theVanderbiltsrsquo 40-plus homesrdquo explains theguide ldquoHis relatives called it lsquoUncleFreddiersquos cottage on the Hudsonrsquordquo

the Hudson River

furnished as befitted the wealthiestfamily in America

The Vanderbilt Mansion gives a wholenew meaning to the word cottage

Springwood Top Cottage and Val-KillThe nearby homes of Franklin and

Eleanor Roosevelt are more modest whentaken individually but the propertywhich comprises The Franklin DRoosevelt National Historic Site at HydePark contains three separate homes

Springwood where FDR spent manyof his pre-presidential years is a mere20000 square feet and the antiques andart are mixed with family mementos Ofcourse the stuffed birds collected by thechild of the family might be lessinteresting had that child not grown upto be president of the United States

After FDRrsquos father died the home andsurrounding land passed to SaraFranklinrsquos mother From that time onshe not only controlled the familymoney but to a large extent she alsocontrolled her only son

For example before allowing him tobuild a small retreat on a heavily woodedpart of the property she made himpromise that he would never spend thenight in that house She worried that ifhe needed medical attention anambulance might find it difficult tonavigate the forest roads in the dark

Roosevelt who at that time wasprobably the most important man in the

world protested but eventually agreed tohis motherrsquos demands and Top Cottagewhich is a cottage in the traditional ratherthan the Vanderbiltian sense of the wordwas built in 1938

Our 32nd president says our guidemay have had his way with world leadersbut not with his own mother

The only part of the estate that wasnrsquotunder Sararsquos direct control was Val-Kill

the Dutch Colonial home of EleanorRoosevelt She wanted cozy andcomfortable and that is exactly what shegot

The knotty pine walls are coveredwith photos of family and friends theoverstuffed chairs are mismatched andthe dishes on the table look exactly likethose used by many middle-classhousewives in the mid-20th centurymdashincluding my own mother-in-law

Wilderstein and Locust GroveWe tour two other estates Wilderstein

the home of Margaret ldquoDaisyrdquo Suckleywho was a distant cousin and ldquoclosefriendrdquo of Franklin RooseveltmdashldquoHowcloserdquo says the guide ldquois not knownrdquomdashand Locust Grove the home of SamuelMorse a man who is best remembered asthe inventor of the telegraph and thecode that bears his name

Wersquoll have to visit the other mansionson our next visit As wersquove learned theHudson Valley is the place to be in thesummer The mega-rich of yesteryearhave told us so

Springwood which was purchased byFDRrsquos father in 1866 and updated many

loved ones as away torecognize andrememberthem

family and friendscan visit to sharestories fondmemories andphotographs andto comfort oneanother and grieve

An online memorial can also directvisitors to the departed personrsquos favoritecharity or cause to make a donation asan alternative to sending funeral flowers

How to Make OneTo make an online memorial you

can either create an independent websiteor use an established memorial sitewhich is what most people choose todo Memorial websites are very easy tocreate and personalize and can be donein less than 30 minutes

There are literally dozens of thesetypes of sites on the Internet today Tolocate them do an online search forldquoonline memorial websitesrdquo In themeantime here are a few good sites tocheck into

The biggest and most established sitein the industry is Legacycom whichalso publishes about 75 percent of theobituaries in North America each yearthrough its newspaper affiliationsCreating an online memorial throughthis site (see wwwmemorialwebsiteslegacycom) will run you $49 for the firstyear plus an annual $19 sponsorship feeto keep it visible

Some other popular sites to checkout are ForeverMissedcom whichoffers a free barebones option alongwith a premium plan that runs $35 peryear or $75 for life andiLastingcom which runs $49 per yearor $99 for permanent display

If yoursquore on a tight budgetconsider LifeStorycom which iscompletely free to use but requires youto log in through Facebook to get to itiMorialcom is free if you allow ads tobe posted on your unclersquos page or itcosts $50 without ads

Or if your uncle used Facebook youcan also turn his profile into a

memorial for free when you show proofof death

Once his page is memorialized hissensitive information will be removedand his birthday notifications will stopbut (depending on his privacy settings)it still enables family and friends to postmemories and condolences

In addition you can also request aLook Back video which is a short videocreated by Facebook highlighting yourunclersquos pictures and most liked statusmessages

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Traveltizers Travel Appetizers Stories that Whet the Appetite for Travel

By Andrea Gross

Therersquos no doubtabout it If I livedin the days before

air conditioning and hadoodles of cash to spare Itoo would escape thesweltering summers ofNew York City by buildinga mega-mansion in theHudson River Valley

I would have it designedby one of the top architectsin the country decoratedwith the finest art and antiques andsurrounded by formal gardens equal to orbetter than those in Europe

As the weather heated up and thewinter social season wound down myfamily and I would leave our Manhattanhome take a steamshipmdashor possibly arailroadmdashto the east bank of theHudson and move into our 50- or 60-or 70-room manor house

Once we were comfortably ensconced

wersquod picnic and party until the weathercooled and it was time to move back tothe city

During the late 19th and early 20th

centuries this seasonal migration was derigueur for financially successful andsocially prominent New Yorkers Themen who were mostly self-madeentrepreneurs or the scions of self-madeentrepreneurs wanted to live as thoughthey had in both the literal and

figurative sense been to the manor born Many of their opulent estates are now

open to the public and are located withinthe Hudson River Valley NationalHeritage Area a 150-mile swath of landthat runs from Troy (just north ofAlbany) to New York City

My husband and I anchor ourselves inthe Mid-Hudson region of DutchessCounty which contains the summerhomes of the most interesting or at least

the most well known of thesuper-elites

The Vanderbilt MansionOur first stop the

Vanderbilt Mansion ownedby Frederick Vanderbiltgrandson of railroad baronCornelius ldquoCommodorerdquoVanderbilt

As we tour the mansionthe guide tells us that atGrandparsquos death in 1877 hewas worth $105 millionwhich if converted into

todayrsquos dollars would make him almostfour times as rich as Bill Gates

When I hear this Irsquom surprised thatthe house although filled with carvedceilings marble columns heavy drapesand delicate tapestries has only 54rooms

ldquoThis is the smallest of theVanderbiltsrsquo 40-plus homesrdquo explains theguide ldquoHis relatives called it lsquoUncleFreddiersquos cottage on the Hudsonrsquordquo

Up Close with the Upper Class

New Yorkrsquos moneyed class likedto build summer estates along

the Hudson River

furnished as befitted the wealthiestfamily in America

The Vanderbilt Mansion gives a wholenew meaning to the word cottage

Springwood Top Cottage and Val-KillThe nearby homes of Franklin and

Eleanor Roosevelt are more modest whentaken individually but the propertywhich comprises The Franklin DRoosevelt National Historic Site at HydePark contains three separate homes

Springwood where FDR spent manyof his pre-presidential years is a mere20000 square feet and the antiques andart are mixed with family mementos Ofcourse the stuffed birds collected by thechild of the family might be lessinteresting had that child not grown upto be president of the United States

After FDRrsquos father died the home andsurrounding land passed to SaraFranklinrsquos mother From that time onshe not only controlled the familymoney but to a large extent she alsocontrolled her only son

For example before allowing him tobuild a small retreat on a heavily woodedpart of the property she made himpromise that he would never spend thenight in that house She worried that ifhe needed medical attention anambulance might find it difficult tonavigate the forest roads in the dark

Roosevelt who at that time wasprobably the most important man in the

world protested but eventually agreed tohis motherrsquos demands and Top Cottagewhich is a cottage in the traditional ratherthan the Vanderbiltian sense of the wordwas built in 1938

Our 32nd president says our guidemay have had his way with world leadersbut not with his own mother

The only part of the estate that wasnrsquotunder Sararsquos direct control was Val-Kill

the Dutch Colonial home of EleanorRoosevelt She wanted cozy andcomfortable and that is exactly what shegot

The knotty pine walls are coveredwith photos of family and friends theoverstuffed chairs are mismatched andthe dishes on the table look exactly likethose used by many middle-classhousewives in the mid-20th centurymdashincluding my own mother-in-law

Wilderstein and Locust GroveWe tour two other estates Wilderstein

the home of Margaret ldquoDaisyrdquo Suckleywho was a distant cousin and ldquoclosefriendrdquo of Franklin RooseveltmdashldquoHowcloserdquo says the guide ldquois not knownrdquomdashand Locust Grove the home of SamuelMorse a man who is best remembered asthe inventor of the telegraph and thecode that bears his name

Wersquoll have to visit the other mansionson our next visit As wersquove learned theHudson Valley is the place to be in thesummer The mega-rich of yesteryearhave told us so

property

Springwood which was purchased byFDRrsquos father in 1866 and updated many

memorials My uncle recently passed awayand some of the family thought it would beneat to create an online memorial to paytribute to him and accommodate the manyfamily and friends who are scatteredaround the country and couldnrsquot attend hisfuneralndash Grieving Niece

Dear GrievingItrsquos a great idea Online memorials

have become increasingly popular overthe past decade as millions of peoplehave created them for their departed

loved ones as away torecognize andrememberthem

OnlineMemorialsAn online

memorial is awebsite createdfor a deceasedperson thatprovides acentral locationwhere their

family and friendscan visit to sharestories fondmemories andphotographs andto comfort oneanother and grieve

The memorialcan remain onlinefor life (or aspecific period oftime) allowingpeople to visit andcontribute anytime in the privacyof their own space

An online memorial can also directvisitors to the departed personrsquos favoritecharity or cause to make a donation asan alternative to sending funeral flowers

How to Make OneTo make an online memorial you

can either create an independent websiteor use an established memorial sitewhich is what most people choose todo Memorial websites are very easy tocreate and personalize and can be donein less than 30 minutes

There are literally dozens of thesetypes of sites on the Internet today Tolocate them do an online search forldquoonline memorial websitesrdquo In themeantime here are a few good sites tocheck into

The biggest and most established sitein the industry is Legacycom whichalso publishes about 75 percent of theobituaries in North America each yearthrough its newspaper affiliationsCreating an online memorial throughthis site (see wwwmemorialwebsiteslegacycom) will run you $49 for the firstyear plus an annual $19 sponsorship feeto keep it visible

Some other popular sites to checkout are ForeverMissedcom whichoffers a free barebones option alongwith a premium plan that runs $35 peryear or $75 for life andiLastingcom which runs $49 per yearor $99 for permanent display

If yoursquore on a tight budgetconsider LifeStorycom which iscompletely free to use but requires youto log in through Facebook to get to itiMorialcom is free if you allow ads tobe posted on your unclersquos page or itcosts $50 without ads

Or if your uncle used Facebook youcan also turn his profile into a

memorial for free when you show proofof death

Once his page is memorialized hissensitive information will be removedand his birthday notifications will stopbut (depending on his privacy settings)it still enables family and friends to postmemories and condolences

In addition you can also request aLook Back video which is a short videocreated by Facebook highlighting yourunclersquos pictures and most liked statusmessages

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Traveltizers Travel Appetizers Stories that Whet the Appetite for Travel

By Andrea Gross

Therersquos no doubtabout it If I livedin the days before

air conditioning and hadoodles of cash to spare Itoo would escape thesweltering summers ofNew York City by buildinga mega-mansion in theHudson River Valley

I would have it designedby one of the top architectsin the country decoratedwith the finest art and antiques andsurrounded by formal gardens equal to orbetter than those in Europe

As the weather heated up and thewinter social season wound down myfamily and I would leave our Manhattanhome take a steamshipmdashor possibly arailroadmdashto the east bank of theHudson and move into our 50- or 60-or 70-room manor house

Once we were comfortably ensconced

wersquod picnic and party until the weathercooled and it was time to move back tothe city

During the late 19th and early 20th

centuries this seasonal migration was derigueur for financially successful andsocially prominent New Yorkers Themen who were mostly self-madeentrepreneurs or the scions of self-madeentrepreneurs wanted to live as thoughthey had in both the literal and

figurative sense been to the manor born Many of their opulent estates are now

open to the public and are located withinthe Hudson River Valley NationalHeritage Area a 150-mile swath of landthat runs from Troy (just north ofAlbany) to New York City

My husband and I anchor ourselves inthe Mid-Hudson region of DutchessCounty which contains the summerhomes of the most interesting or at least

the most well known of thesuper-elites

The Vanderbilt MansionOur first stop the

Vanderbilt Mansion ownedby Frederick Vanderbiltgrandson of railroad baronCornelius ldquoCommodorerdquoVanderbilt

As we tour the mansionthe guide tells us that atGrandparsquos death in 1877 hewas worth $105 millionwhich if converted into

todayrsquos dollars would make him almostfour times as rich as Bill Gates

When I hear this Irsquom surprised thatthe house although filled with carvedceilings marble columns heavy drapesand delicate tapestries has only 54rooms

ldquoThis is the smallest of theVanderbiltsrsquo 40-plus homesrdquo explains theguide ldquoHis relatives called it lsquoUncleFreddiersquos cottage on the Hudsonrsquordquo

New Yorkrsquos moneyed class likedto build summer estates along

the Hudson River

furnished as befitted the wealthiestfamily in America

The Vanderbilt Mansion gives a wholenew meaning to the word cottage

Springwood Top Cottage and Val-KillThe nearby homes of Franklin and

Eleanor Roosevelt are more modest whentaken individually but the propertywhich comprises The Franklin DRoosevelt National Historic Site at HydePark contains three separate homes

Springwood where FDR spent manyof his pre-presidential years is a mere20000 square feet and the antiques andart are mixed with family mementos Ofcourse the stuffed birds collected by thechild of the family might be lessinteresting had that child not grown upto be president of the United States

After FDRrsquos father died the home andsurrounding land passed to SaraFranklinrsquos mother From that time onshe not only controlled the familymoney but to a large extent she alsocontrolled her only son

For example before allowing him tobuild a small retreat on a heavily woodedpart of the property she made himpromise that he would never spend thenight in that house She worried that ifhe needed medical attention anambulance might find it difficult tonavigate the forest roads in the dark

Roosevelt who at that time wasprobably the most important man in the

world protested but eventually agreed tohis motherrsquos demands and Top Cottagewhich is a cottage in the traditional ratherthan the Vanderbiltian sense of the wordwas built in 1938

Our 32nd president says our guidemay have had his way with world leadersbut not with his own mother

The only part of the estate that wasnrsquotunder Sararsquos direct control was Val-Kill

the Dutch Colonial home of EleanorRoosevelt She wanted cozy andcomfortable and that is exactly what shegot

The knotty pine walls are coveredwith photos of family and friends theoverstuffed chairs are mismatched andthe dishes on the table look exactly likethose used by many middle-classhousewives in the mid-20th centurymdashincluding my own mother-in-law

Wilderstein and Locust GroveWe tour two other estates Wilderstein

the home of Margaret ldquoDaisyrdquo Suckleywho was a distant cousin and ldquoclosefriendrdquo of Franklin RooseveltmdashldquoHowcloserdquo says the guide ldquois not knownrdquomdashand Locust Grove the home of SamuelMorse a man who is best remembered asthe inventor of the telegraph and thecode that bears his name

Wersquoll have to visit the other mansionson our next visit As wersquove learned theHudson Valley is the place to be in thesummer The mega-rich of yesteryearhave told us so

loved ones as away torecognize andrememberthem

An online memorial can also directvisitors to the departed personrsquos favoritecharity or cause to make a donation asan alternative to sending funeral flowers

How to Make OneTo make an online memorial you

can either create an independent websiteor use an established memorial sitewhich is what most people choose todo Memorial websites are very easy tocreate and personalize and can be donein less than 30 minutes

There are literally dozens of thesetypes of sites on the Internet today Tolocate them do an online search forldquoonline memorial websitesrdquo In themeantime here are a few good sites tocheck into

The biggest and most established sitein the industry is Legacycom whichalso publishes about 75 percent of theobituaries in North America each yearthrough its newspaper affiliationsCreating an online memorial throughthis site (see wwwmemorialwebsiteslegacycom) will run you $49 for the firstyear plus an annual $19 sponsorship feeto keep it visible

Some other popular sites to checkout are ForeverMissedcom whichoffers a free barebones option alongwith a premium plan that runs $35 peryear or $75 for life andiLastingcom which runs $49 per yearor $99 for permanent display

If yoursquore on a tight budgetconsider LifeStorycom which iscompletely free to use but requires youto log in through Facebook to get to itiMorialcom is free if you allow ads tobe posted on your unclersquos page or itcosts $50 without ads

Or if your uncle used Facebook youcan also turn his profile into a

memorial for free when you show proofof death

Once his page is memorialized hissensitive information will be removedand his birthday notifications will stopbut (depending on his privacy settings)it still enables family and friends to postmemories and condolences

In addition you can also request aLook Back video which is a short videocreated by Facebook highlighting yourunclersquos pictures and most liked statusmessages

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Traveltizers Travel Appetizers Stories that Whet the Appetite for Travel

By Andrea Gross

Therersquos no doubtabout it If I livedin the days before

air conditioning and hadoodles of cash to spare Itoo would escape thesweltering summers ofNew York City by buildinga mega-mansion in theHudson River Valley

I would have it designedby one of the top architectsin the country decoratedwith the finest art and antiques andsurrounded by formal gardens equal to orbetter than those in Europe

As the weather heated up and thewinter social season wound down myfamily and I would leave our Manhattanhome take a steamshipmdashor possibly arailroadmdashto the east bank of theHudson and move into our 50- or 60-or 70-room manor house

Once we were comfortably ensconced

wersquod picnic and party until the weathercooled and it was time to move back tothe city

During the late 19th and early 20th

centuries this seasonal migration was derigueur for financially successful andsocially prominent New Yorkers Themen who were mostly self-madeentrepreneurs or the scions of self-madeentrepreneurs wanted to live as thoughthey had in both the literal and

figurative sense been to the manor born Many of their opulent estates are now

open to the public and are located withinthe Hudson River Valley NationalHeritage Area a 150-mile swath of landthat runs from Troy (just north ofAlbany) to New York City

My husband and I anchor ourselves inthe Mid-Hudson region of DutchessCounty which contains the summerhomes of the most interesting or at least

the most well known of thesuper-elites

The Vanderbilt MansionOur first stop the

Vanderbilt Mansion ownedby Frederick Vanderbiltgrandson of railroad baronCornelius ldquoCommodorerdquoVanderbilt

As we tour the mansionthe guide tells us that atGrandparsquos death in 1877 hewas worth $105 millionwhich if converted into

todayrsquos dollars would make him almostfour times as rich as Bill Gates

When I hear this Irsquom surprised thatthe house although filled with carvedceilings marble columns heavy drapesand delicate tapestries has only 54rooms

ldquoThis is the smallest of theVanderbiltsrsquo 40-plus homesrdquo explains theguide ldquoHis relatives called it lsquoUncleFreddiersquos cottage on the Hudsonrsquordquo

Up Close with the Upper Class

New Yorkrsquos moneyed class likedto build summer estates along

the Hudson River

The Vanderbilt Mansion wasextravagantly and elegantly

furnished as befitted the wealthiestfamily in America

The Vanderbilt Mansion gives a wholenew meaning to the word cottage

Springwood Top Cottage and Val-KillThe nearby homes of Franklin and

Eleanor Roosevelt are more modest whentaken individually but the propertywhich comprises The Franklin DRoosevelt National Historic Site at HydePark contains three separate homes

Springwood where FDR spent manyof his pre-presidential years is a mere20000 square feet and the antiques andart are mixed with family mementos Ofcourse the stuffed birds collected by thechild of the family might be lessinteresting had that child not grown upto be president of the United States

After FDRrsquos father died the home andsurrounding land passed to SaraFranklinrsquos mother From that time onshe not only controlled the familymoney but to a large extent she alsocontrolled her only son

For example before allowing him tobuild a small retreat on a heavily woodedpart of the property she made himpromise that he would never spend thenight in that house She worried that ifhe needed medical attention anambulance might find it difficult tonavigate the forest roads in the dark

Roosevelt who at that time wasprobably the most important man in the

world protested but eventually agreed tohis motherrsquos demands and Top Cottagewhich is a cottage in the traditional ratherthan the Vanderbiltian sense of the wordwas built in 1938

Our 32nd president says our guidemay have had his way with world leadersbut not with his own mother

The only part of the estate that wasnrsquotunder Sararsquos direct control was Val-Kill

the Dutch Colonial home of EleanorRoosevelt She wanted cozy andcomfortable and that is exactly what shegot

The knotty pine walls are coveredwith photos of family and friends theoverstuffed chairs are mismatched andthe dishes on the table look exactly likethose used by many middle-classhousewives in the mid-20th centurymdashincluding my own mother-in-law

Wilderstein and Locust GroveWe tour two other estates Wilderstein

the home of Margaret ldquoDaisyrdquo Suckleywho was a distant cousin and ldquoclosefriendrdquo of Franklin RooseveltmdashldquoHowcloserdquo says the guide ldquois not knownrdquomdashand Locust Grove the home of SamuelMorse a man who is best remembered asthe inventor of the telegraph and thecode that bears his name

Wersquoll have to visit the other mansionson our next visit As wersquove learned theHudson Valley is the place to be in thesummer The mega-rich of yesteryearhave told us so

Dear GrievingItrsquos a great idea Online memorials

have become increasingly popular overthe past decade as millions of peoplehave created them for their departed

loved ones as away torecognize andrememberthem

OnlineMemorialsAn online

memorial is awebsite createdfor a deceasedperson thatprovides acentral locationwhere their

family and friendscan visit to sharestories fondmemories andphotographs andto comfort oneanother and grieve

The memorialcan remain onlinefor life (or aspecific period oftime) allowingpeople to visit andcontribute anytime in the privacyof their own space

Online memorials started popping upon the Internet in the late 1990s butwere created primarily for people whowere well known But now these sitesare for anyone who wants to pay tributeto their departed family member orfriend and ensure they will beremembered

offered by visitors to the site who wantto send their condolences and supportto the grieving party

An online memorial can also directvisitors to the departed personrsquos favoritecharity or cause to make a donation asan alternative to sending funeral flowers

How to Make OneTo make an online memorial you

can either create an independent websiteor use an established memorial sitewhich is what most people choose todo Memorial websites are very easy tocreate and personalize and can be donein less than 30 minutes

There are literally dozens of thesetypes of sites on the Internet today Tolocate them do an online search forldquoonline memorial websitesrdquo In themeantime here are a few good sites tocheck into

The biggest and most established sitein the industry is Legacycom whichalso publishes about 75 percent of theobituaries in North America each yearthrough its newspaper affiliationsCreating an online memorial throughthis site (see wwwmemorialwebsiteslegacycom) will run you $49 for the firstyear plus an annual $19 sponsorship feeto keep it visible

Some other popular sites to checkout are ForeverMissedcom whichoffers a free barebones option alongwith a premium plan that runs $35 peryear or $75 for life andiLastingcom which runs $49 per yearor $99 for permanent display

If yoursquore on a tight budgetconsider LifeStorycom which iscompletely free to use but requires youto log in through Facebook to get to itiMorialcom is free if you allow ads tobe posted on your unclersquos page or itcosts $50 without ads

Or if your uncle used Facebook youcan also turn his profile into a

memorial for free when you show proofof death

Once his page is memorialized hissensitive information will be removedand his birthday notifications will stopbut (depending on his privacy settings)it still enables family and friends to postmemories and condolences

In addition you can also request aLook Back video which is a short videocreated by Facebook highlighting yourunclersquos pictures and most liked statusmessages

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

more than 200000 survivors worldwideAlthough it is difficult to accuratelycapture exact data on the number ofsurvivors it is estimated that theiraverage age is 79

And although so many brilliant andtalented individuals were killed in campsfortunately there are individuals whodespite incredible obstacles are alive andhave experienced successful creative lives

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Traveltizers Travel Appetizers Stories that Whet the Appetite for Travel

By Andrea Gross

Therersquos no doubtabout it If I livedin the days before

air conditioning and hadoodles of cash to spare Itoo would escape thesweltering summers ofNew York City by buildinga mega-mansion in theHudson River Valley

I would have it designedby one of the top architectsin the country decoratedwith the finest art and antiques andsurrounded by formal gardens equal to orbetter than those in Europe

As the weather heated up and thewinter social season wound down myfamily and I would leave our Manhattanhome take a steamshipmdashor possibly arailroadmdashto the east bank of theHudson and move into our 50- or 60-or 70-room manor house

Once we were comfortably ensconced

wersquod picnic and party until the weathercooled and it was time to move back tothe city

During the late 19th and early 20th

centuries this seasonal migration was derigueur for financially successful andsocially prominent New Yorkers Themen who were mostly self-madeentrepreneurs or the scions of self-madeentrepreneurs wanted to live as thoughthey had in both the literal and

figurative sense been to the manor born Many of their opulent estates are now

open to the public and are located withinthe Hudson River Valley NationalHeritage Area a 150-mile swath of landthat runs from Troy (just north ofAlbany) to New York City

My husband and I anchor ourselves inthe Mid-Hudson region of DutchessCounty which contains the summerhomes of the most interesting or at least

the most well known of thesuper-elites

The Vanderbilt MansionOur first stop the

Vanderbilt Mansion ownedby Frederick Vanderbiltgrandson of railroad baronCornelius ldquoCommodorerdquoVanderbilt

As we tour the mansionthe guide tells us that atGrandparsquos death in 1877 hewas worth $105 millionwhich if converted into

todayrsquos dollars would make him almostfour times as rich as Bill Gates

When I hear this Irsquom surprised thatthe house although filled with carvedceilings marble columns heavy drapesand delicate tapestries has only 54rooms

ldquoThis is the smallest of theVanderbiltsrsquo 40-plus homesrdquo explains theguide ldquoHis relatives called it lsquoUncleFreddiersquos cottage on the Hudsonrsquordquo

The Vanderbilt Mansion gives a wholenew meaning to the word cottage

Springwood Top Cottage and Val-KillThe nearby homes of Franklin and

Eleanor Roosevelt are more modest whentaken individually but the propertywhich comprises The Franklin DRoosevelt National Historic Site at HydePark contains three separate homes

Springwood where FDR spent manyof his pre-presidential years is a mere20000 square feet and the antiques andart are mixed with family mementos Ofcourse the stuffed birds collected by thechild of the family might be lessinteresting had that child not grown upto be president of the United States

After FDRrsquos father died the home andsurrounding land passed to SaraFranklinrsquos mother From that time onshe not only controlled the familymoney but to a large extent she alsocontrolled her only son

For example before allowing him tobuild a small retreat on a heavily woodedpart of the property she made himpromise that he would never spend thenight in that house She worried that ifhe needed medical attention anambulance might find it difficult tonavigate the forest roads in the dark

Roosevelt who at that time wasprobably the most important man in the

world protested but eventually agreed tohis motherrsquos demands and Top Cottagewhich is a cottage in the traditional ratherthan the Vanderbiltian sense of the wordwas built in 1938

Our 32nd president says our guidemay have had his way with world leadersbut not with his own mother

The only part of the estate that wasnrsquotunder Sararsquos direct control was Val-Kill

the Dutch Colonial home of EleanorRoosevelt She wanted cozy andcomfortable and that is exactly what shegot

The knotty pine walls are coveredwith photos of family and friends theoverstuffed chairs are mismatched andthe dishes on the table look exactly likethose used by many middle-classhousewives in the mid-20th centurymdashincluding my own mother-in-law

Wilderstein and Locust GroveWe tour two other estates Wilderstein

the home of Margaret ldquoDaisyrdquo Suckleywho was a distant cousin and ldquoclosefriendrdquo of Franklin RooseveltmdashldquoHowcloserdquo says the guide ldquois not knownrdquomdashand Locust Grove the home of SamuelMorse a man who is best remembered asthe inventor of the telegraph and thecode that bears his name

Wersquoll have to visit the other mansionson our next visit As wersquove learned theHudson Valley is the place to be in thesummer The mega-rich of yesteryearhave told us so

Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt areburied in a garden on the Hyde Park

property

Springwood which was purchased byFDRrsquos father in 1866 and updated many

times thereafter was modest compared tothe estates of its neighbors

Eleanor Rooseveltrsquos home Val-Kill isthe only National Historic Site

He was an outstanding painter but isbest remembered as the inventor of

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

The Vanderbilt Mansion gives a wholenew meaning to the word cottage

Springwood Top Cottage and Val-KillThe nearby homes of Franklin and

Eleanor Roosevelt are more modest whentaken individually but the propertywhich comprises The Franklin DRoosevelt National Historic Site at HydePark contains three separate homes

Springwood where FDR spent manyof his pre-presidential years is a mere20000 square feet and the antiques andart are mixed with family mementos Ofcourse the stuffed birds collected by thechild of the family might be lessinteresting had that child not grown upto be president of the United States

After FDRrsquos father died the home andsurrounding land passed to SaraFranklinrsquos mother From that time onshe not only controlled the familymoney but to a large extent she alsocontrolled her only son

For example before allowing him tobuild a small retreat on a heavily woodedpart of the property she made himpromise that he would never spend thenight in that house She worried that ifhe needed medical attention anambulance might find it difficult tonavigate the forest roads in the dark

Roosevelt who at that time wasprobably the most important man in the

world protested but eventually agreed tohis motherrsquos demands and Top Cottagewhich is a cottage in the traditional ratherthan the Vanderbiltian sense of the wordwas built in 1938

Our 32nd president says our guidemay have had his way with world leadersbut not with his own mother

The only part of the estate that wasnrsquotunder Sararsquos direct control was Val-Kill

the Dutch Colonial home of EleanorRoosevelt She wanted cozy andcomfortable and that is exactly what shegot

The knotty pine walls are coveredwith photos of family and friends theoverstuffed chairs are mismatched andthe dishes on the table look exactly likethose used by many middle-classhousewives in the mid-20th centurymdashincluding my own mother-in-law

Wilderstein and Locust GroveWe tour two other estates Wilderstein

the home of Margaret ldquoDaisyrdquo Suckleywho was a distant cousin and ldquoclosefriendrdquo of Franklin RooseveltmdashldquoHowcloserdquo says the guide ldquois not knownrdquomdashand Locust Grove the home of SamuelMorse a man who is best remembered asthe inventor of the telegraph and thecode that bears his name

Wersquoll have to visit the other mansionson our next visit As wersquove learned theHudson Valley is the place to be in thesummer The mega-rich of yesteryearhave told us so

property

Springwood which was purchased byFDRrsquos father in 1866 and updated many

Eleanor Rooseveltrsquos home Val-Kill isthe only National Historic Site

Locust Grove Estate was owned bySamuel Morse from 1847 to 1872

Dear GrievingItrsquos a great idea Online memorials

have become increasingly popular overthe past decade as millions of peoplehave created them for their departed

loved ones as away torecognize andrememberthem

OnlineMemorialsAn online

memorial is awebsite createdfor a deceasedperson thatprovides acentral locationwhere their

family and friendscan visit to sharestories fondmemories andphotographs andto comfort oneanother and grieve

The memorialcan remain onlinefor life (or aspecific period oftime) allowingpeople to visit andcontribute anytime in the privacyof their own space

Online memorials started popping upon the Internet in the late 1990s butwere created primarily for people whowere well known But now these sitesare for anyone who wants to pay tributeto their departed family member orfriend and ensure they will beremembered

offered by visitors to the site who wantto send their condolences and supportto the grieving party

An online memorial can also directvisitors to the departed personrsquos favoritecharity or cause to make a donation asan alternative to sending funeral flowers

How to Make OneTo make an online memorial you

can either create an independent websiteor use an established memorial sitewhich is what most people choose todo Memorial websites are very easy tocreate and personalize and can be donein less than 30 minutes

There are literally dozens of thesetypes of sites on the Internet today Tolocate them do an online search forldquoonline memorial websitesrdquo In themeantime here are a few good sites tocheck into

The biggest and most established sitein the industry is Legacycom whichalso publishes about 75 percent of theobituaries in North America each yearthrough its newspaper affiliationsCreating an online memorial throughthis site (see wwwmemorialwebsiteslegacycom) will run you $49 for the firstyear plus an annual $19 sponsorship feeto keep it visible

Some other popular sites to checkout are ForeverMissedcom whichoffers a free barebones option alongwith a premium plan that runs $35 peryear or $75 for life andiLastingcom which runs $49 per yearor $99 for permanent display

If yoursquore on a tight budgetconsider LifeStorycom which iscompletely free to use but requires youto log in through Facebook to get to itiMorialcom is free if you allow ads tobe posted on your unclersquos page or itcosts $50 without ads

Or if your uncle used Facebook youcan also turn his profile into a

memorial for free when you show proofof death

Once his page is memorialized hissensitive information will be removedand his birthday notifications will stopbut (depending on his privacy settings)it still enables family and friends to postmemories and condolences

In addition you can also request aLook Back video which is a short videocreated by Facebook highlighting yourunclersquos pictures and most liked statusmessages

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Dear GrievingItrsquos a great idea Online memorials

have become increasingly popular overthe past decade as millions of peoplehave created them for their departed

loved ones as away torecognize andrememberthem

OnlineMemorialsAn online

memorial is awebsite createdfor a deceasedperson thatprovides acentral locationwhere their

family and friendscan visit to sharestories fondmemories andphotographs andto comfort oneanother and grieve

The memorialcan remain onlinefor life (or aspecific period oftime) allowingpeople to visit andcontribute anytime in the privacyof their own space

Online memorials started popping upon the Internet in the late 1990s butwere created primarily for people whowere well known But now these sitesare for anyone who wants to pay tributeto their departed family member orfriend and ensure they will beremembered

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Scandal is no stranger to any periodof American history or to anysector of our society Itrsquos a

misconception that contemporary timeshave brought a severe decline in themorality of our public figures Thefounders of our republic otherwisedeeply revered themselves had episodesof falling from grace

We tend to not know or to forget thesins of the prominent in an earlierAmerica Are leaders today more debasedthan those of the 18th and 19th centuriesMaybe the reporting of the follies of ourcontemporaries is more lurid anddetailed than the scandals of bygone eras

Political figures of our developingcountry were not always role modelsAaron Burr vice president in PresidentJeffersonrsquos first term in office asked theBritish minster to the United States for$500000 to have Burrrsquos help inseparating Louisiana from the nation

Two years later in 1806 when he wasthen out of office Burr told the Spanishminister to the United States that hisplan went beyond having westernterritories secede He conspired tocapture our nationrsquos capital as well Burrwas acquitted of the charge of treasonbecause his plan was not accompanied bydirect action

Jefferson admired for many qualitiesreportedly fathered several children byone of his slaves Sally Hemings yearsafter his wife died This scandal firstbroke as public news while Jefferson wasin his first term of the presidency Hesimply ignored the charge Todayrsquos presswould not allow that news to lapse

Alexander Hamilton our firstsecretary of the treasury had a three-yearaffair with a married woman thateventually becamepublic He never heldpublic office after thedisclosure

President GroverCleveland presidentduring two separatedterms toward the endof the 19th centuryacknowledged hispaternity of anillegitimate son 10years before he becamepresident He wasunmarried at the timeOther paramours ofthe mother weremarried Cleveland didthe magnanimousthing and assumedchild support to sparethe others Ratherthan destroying himpolitically his noblegesture attractedconsiderable praise

President Harding(1921-23) had twoaffairs before enteringthe White House Thelatter romance waswith a married womanthat lasted from 1905until 1920 He kept the matter quietduring his presidential campaign bypaying the woman for her silence onlyto die of a heart attack while in office

Some suspected the illicit romance droveMrs Harding to poison the president agossip unsupported by evidence

Recent years haveseen scandalousbehavior among ourmilitary leaders butnever a betrayal ofallegiance to thecountry That canrsquot besaid of all militarycommanders decadesago

James Wilkinsonwas twice thecommanding generalof the United StatesArmy from 1796-1798 and from 1800-1812 Teddy Rooseveltsaid of him ldquoIn all ourhistory there is nomore despicablecharacterrdquo After hisdeath it wasdiscovered Wilkinsonwas a paid agent ofSpain

Anotherrevolutionary armycommander GeneralCharles Lee second incommand underWashington disobeyedbattle orders issued byWashington for whom

he held personal contempt as unfit tolead the revolution

Lee previously had been held prisonerby the British It was found after his

death that during that imprisonment hehad worked to assist British GeneralHowe

Benjamin Church was the firstsurgeon general of the United StatesArmy during the AmericanRevolutionary War He was also aninformer to British General ThomasGage Church was convicted oftreasonous behavior

No one matched the treachery ofBenedict Arnold a Revolutionary Warhero who became disillusioned with thecause and bitter at those superiors whoclaimed personal credit for Arnoldrsquosaccomplishments

Appointed to command the fort atWest Point Arnold offered to surrenderto the British His treason discovered heescaped capture by Washingtonrsquos forcesand became a general in the British armyleading attacks in Virginia andConnecticut

Scandals serve a purpose Theydemonstrate to the ethically frail that themoral and ethical transgressions of eventhe wealthy and powerful can go awryregardless of their skill in concealmentFollies of the prominent provide publicmorality lessons The rest of us sin inprivate

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Aman far better than I atarithmetic informs me that thenational debt is now more than

$17 trillion My source for this bit ofominous-sounding financial informationis Oscar the proprietor of Oscarrsquos Tapour neighborhood haven for the jitteryand thirsty

Oscar along with mastery of thefoaming technique that makes the glassappear full when it really isnrsquot subscribesto the Wall Street Journal so heobviously understands financeApparently there was something new inthe world of big numbers Oscar wasloaded with numerical information theother evening

He waited a minute letting the 17trillion figure sort of soak in beforeadding that there are now more than 140million Americans working for a livingwith most of them paying taxes andproviding about three-fourths of thegovernmentrsquos income

ldquoNot to worryrdquo Oscar added ratherhastily perhaps fearful that I wouldthrow up both arms abandon myself tototal despair and go home withoutpaying

Then Oscar draped himself over thebar to make sure I could hear

ldquoIrsquom rounding off the numbersrdquo heexplained recognizing a bit late themathematical naiveteacute of his audienceldquobut you get the ideardquo

I didnrsquot of course but I couldnrsquotimagine Oscar had it in him to make upall these numbers so I guessed thatsomehow in response I was supposed todivide 17 trillion by 140 million andthen do something about the three-fourths that was involved in this thing

The trouble was that I couldnrsquotremember how many zeros are in atrillion mdash just one trillion let alone 17of them And I was trying my best to

recall details of the 140 millionnumber mdash taxpayers I think they wereAll I could think of was ldquosix-figureincomerdquo whichIrsquod been toldrather pointedlymy brother-in-lawwas making but Isuspected thatnumber hadnothing to dowith this

But did thefigures include allthe zeros in 140million or not I mentally pictured 140million There were distinctly ninenumbers in a row Confusion was alreadyreigning and I hadnrsquot yet had a sip fromthe draft beer Oscar had put in front ofme spilling a little to make an island outof the paperboard coaster as he alwaysdid and calling into play his sodden barrag

He slopped it around a bit as I triedto picture in my mind the extended longdivision of the 140 million and the 17trillion In a flash I could rememberSister Mary Agatha of the Seven Sorrowsputting the long division problem on theblackboard She always ended up withthe veil of her black habit streaked withwhite chalk dust

But her numbers never had a lot ofzeros Maybe one or two after we fifth-graders had begun to get the hang of thething but nothing like what a trillioncalled for Bluntly I think Sister MaryAgatha would have been just as thrownby all these zeros as I was

The 140 and the 17 were no problembut I knew the answer couldnrsquot possiblybe dividing 17 into 140 and coming upwith whatever that was It would be smallchange to Oscar and hersquod hardly havebrought the matter up if thatrsquos all it was

And dividing the 17 into the 140would come up with a decimal of somesort which Sister Mary Agatha also

taught but Iwas out withmumps thatweek

ldquoTherersquosreally nothingto worryaboutrdquo Oscarbroke into mythoughts inthe nick oftime ldquoIt

comes out to about 80 Grsquos per head Butthatrsquos over the next 30 years or so andwe can just roll it over mdash most of itanywayrdquo

Oscar paused to reassure me ldquoThese guys on TV just want

something scary to talk about They

donrsquot understand how it worksrdquoNeither did I and now I was left

wondering why Oscar had brought thesubject up in the first place as I watchedhim scoop my five-dollar bill out of thepuddle on the bar punch ldquono salerdquo onthe cash register and put down a dollarand two quarters in the puddle

Here was another financial challengeShould I leave behind the dollar or thetwo quarters as a tip

I left only the quarters I figured ifOscar knows that much about highfinance he doesnrsquot need a lot of my helpAnd besides I wonder if he made up allthose figuresmdashjust so $350 for a beerwith a lot of foam wouldnrsquot seem soexpensive

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Older But Not Wiser

This story begins on a Sundayafternoon in my momrsquos assistedliving facility

An accordion player Ramon comesevery week He is 50 good looking andLatin and is the heartthrob of thefacilitymdashand he definitely knows it Hestruts he prances he winks and theladies all put on an extra dab of rougewhen Ramon is there

Lately however Ramon seems boredand is just going through the motionslike he would rather be somewhere elseWhen he played his half-hearted versionof ldquoYou Send Merdquo he was really sendingeveryone to sleep

I was sitting next to my mom and Icould see that half of the seniors in thelobby were dozing but Ramon didnrsquotseem to care He knew he was the onlygame in town

And then the game changed Mydaughter Ann arrived with her 8-month-

old baby Summer My granddaughterlooked gorgeous Even at 8 months shewas making a real fashion statement withher bow matching her outfit Ann put mygranddaughter in my momrsquos lap Andthere they sat both of them smiling away

And then a strange thing happenedAll 60 gray heads in the lobby turned inunison and watched my granddaughterwith her great-grandmother Ramon wasmomentarily forgotten The heartthrobhad been replaced

So what could the accordion playerdo Of course he stepped up his game torecapture the audience Nobody wasgoing to steal his thunder He started toplay faster and louder as he bouncedaround the room desperately trying toget everyonersquos attention

He played ldquoChattanooga Choo Choordquoand ldquoGreat Balls of Firerdquo Both songswere crowd pleasers and the seniorsturned toward him but then Summer

would giggle and audience turned back toher It was like the seniors were watchinga championship pingpong match theirheads turning right and left

Ramon played his accordion faster andfaster He would crescendo anddecrescendo Everyone stared at himSummer would answer with a coo and agurgle and everyone would then stare ather

Ramonrsquos fingers were now flying acrossthe accordion And then he didsomething he hadnrsquot done in years aquadruple bellow shake In the space ofone beat he hit a note four times It wasbreathtaking and everyone watched him

Summer then made a soundldquoboeleebboobbaardquo and everyone turnedtoward her

Finally Ramon decided it was time tostop fooling around He had to establishhis superiority He had to squash Summerand once again become the King of

Assisted Living And he tried to do it byplaying ldquoBolerordquo Thatrsquos rightmdashhe wasgoing for the tango

And he didnrsquot just play ldquoBolerordquo Healso grabbed one of the ladies from herseat and somehow danced with her whilekeeping his accordion at full blastEveryone was watching

And then Summer did somethingmiraculous She yelped ldquoWhoooowhooooordquo and wiggled her body asthough she were dancing

Game Set Match Summer haddefeated Ramon She had clearly becomethe Queen of Assisted Living AndRamon had no choice but toacknowledge her superiority and decidedldquoIf you canrsquot beat rsquoem join rsquoemrdquo

He danced over to Summer whileplaying ldquoYou Must Have Been a BeautifulBabyrdquo All eyes were now on Summer andRamon But really they were just lookingat Summer All hail the queen

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Lancaster County OOA Hits Major MilestoneBy Molly Carl

Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year the Lancaster County Office of Agingwas created in 1974 as a vision to provide ldquoneeded assistance to older persons andtheir families in the most appropriate and least restrictive manner enabling them tomaintain dignity and independencerdquo

Now four decades and a lot of hard work anddedication later the Office of Aging is still focused onnever wavering from these goals

At its onset the Office of Aging had a $57000 budgetand a ldquo20-somethingrdquo social worker named Peter Dys asthe first executive director The program offerings includedsenior centers homemakerchore assistance telephonereassurance calls and information and outreach

Dys was succeeded by Patricia Mann who establishedthe first adult day programs in the county Under herdirection various other projects gained headway

It has since expanded its offerings to include volunteer insurance counseling theSenior Games smoke detector distributions job fairs and art and essay contestsamong many others

Several of these programs are not only still in existence but have also served asprogram models on the state level

When Mann retired in 1995 she was succeeded by eight-year deputy directorJacqueline Burch

Burch began as a student intern with the agency in 1981 and was hired to workpart-time as a site manager before she went full-time In 1988 she took on the roleof deputy director and was promoted by the Board of County Commissioners to

executive director in 1996 a position shersquos held ever since ldquoServing as deputy director with Mrs Mann for eight years was good preparation

for following in her footstepsrdquo said Burch although she admits to not realizing justhow big those shoes really were or would need to be

The Office of Aging now has a $10 million annual budget with approximately 75full-time and part-time staff members

As executive director Burch primarily deals withadministrative duties Alongside those she assists with thedelivery of services both home and community based thatprovide the aging population of Lancaster County withresources they may need

Burch noted that keeping up with the rapidly changinglocal state and federal aging landscape can be quite difficult

ldquoMore people are living longer with greater needs andfewer resourcesrdquo said Burch ldquoImpacts of the economytechnology politics and an increasingly ethnic and culturallydiverse service population have greatly shaped and directed

that change and will no doubt continue to do sordquoHowever Burch stands firm on remaining true to the principles upon which the

organization was founded ever grateful for everyone that has helped the Office ofAging grow into the organization that it is today

ldquoWe inherited a firm organizational foundation hellip but it has been the incrediblyskilled and dedicated staff volunteers providers and countless community partnerswho have helped us get this far and to whom I am most grateful on thisanniversaryrdquo

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

There are several firms that cater tothe general public for testing ofindividual DNA Most of them

actively promote their services and canbe found on the Internet

The ldquobig fourrdquo with the main thrustsof their services are 23andMe (medicalgenealogical and personal ancestry)Family Tree DNA (genealogical personalancestry) AncestryDNA (genealogicalpersonal ancestry) and Genographic byNational Geographic (populationgenetics research personal ancestry)

The first three charge about $100 fora basic test while NG charges about$200 for a more comprehensive test Fora detailed comparison of these firms seehttpbitlyDNATestVendorsCompared

The premise behind all of these tests isthat humans like all living things have agenomemdasha set of biological ldquoplansrdquo thatdetermines the details of our veryexistence hair color eye color body

shape susceptibility to asthma ortuberculosis or color blindness ability toprocreate etcmdashthe very things thatmake us individuals

These traitshowever havebeen passeddown from ourancestors via thecoding describedby substancescalleddeoxyribonucleicacids DNA

We receivesome of theDNA from one parent some from theother Since our parents had parents theytoo received some from each parentmeaning that part of our DNA is fromour grandparentsmdashand from our great-grandparents and our great-great-grandparents back to the first humans

Our DNA is contained mostly ingenes in our chromosomes of which wehave 23 pairs Most of our DNA is of atype called autosomal contained in 22 of

the 23chromosomepairs The 23rd

pair is the onethat determinesour sex In malesthe pair comprisesone X and one Ychromosome andin females it hastwo Xchromosomes

Thus the DNA in the Y chromosome(Y-DNA or paternal DNA) is passedonly from male to male

Another key form of DNA ismitochondrial DNA (mtDNA ormaternal DNA) which can be passedfrom a woman to both male and female

offspring but cannot be further passed onby the males These characteristics meanthat paternal and maternal DNA can(separately) be compared to known DNAcharacteristics of various ethnic andgeographic groups (called haplogroups)that existed in the distant past

Last time I noted that one of thegenealogical reasons for DNA testingincludes the desire to know onersquos broadethnic or national origins Many peopleare intrigued by such questions Do theyhave black or Jewish or NativeAmerican ancestry

While the test vendors use DNAanalyses to indicate a subjectrsquos ldquoancestrycompositionrdquo I believe many researchersput undue weight on such descriptions

For example my 23andMe ancestrycomposition shows 877 percentEuropean with 751 percent SouthernEuropean and 599 percent Italian and itfound that less than one-tenth of 1

percent of my ancestry is Irish or British Those findings are not surprising

because I have found by traditionalldquopaper genealogyrdquo that most of myancestors back to the sixth generation inthe mid-1700s were from one of onlytwo towns in central Sicily The partabout 51 percent being Middle Easternor African is intriguing but no moresurprising

The ldquosmall printrdquo says that theseestimates are for onersquos ancestryapproximately ldquo500 years ago beforeocean-crossing ships and airplanes cameon the scenerdquo

Other results claim to define onersquosancestry as far back as 5000 to 50000years but I feel that such ldquoancestryrdquosimply refers to stages or regions thatthe familial forebears passed through

during the long history of mankind Ihappen to believe that all mankinddescended from the first humans inAfrica so that if the DNA studies wereall completely accurate everyonersquosancestral composition would be thesame 100 percent African

Next time Irsquoll discuss what DNAtesting can do to answer the questionsIrsquom most interested in those

surrounding ldquopersonal ancestryrdquo

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

HalloweenHalloween comes this time of yearBringing a night that gives us fearFor witches ride upon their broomsCasting spells that may bring doomSkeletons climb with all their bonesFrom beneath their graveyard stones

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

When the computerized slots wereintroduced in the rsquo80s machines withprogressive jackpots were linked amongdifferent machines hundreds of milesapart offered huge jackpots starting inthe millions

Essentially Leigh slot machines keepadvancing and getting morecomplicated necessitating new homesfor the older ones I will write in a futurecolumn about some new three-reelmechanical slots with the feel of atraditional slot that are now hitting thefloor

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Dear Mark With apologies toGeneral Douglas MacArthur thequestion still remains What happensto old slot machines that have outlivedtheir usefulness I have noticed thatsome of my favorite machinesmysteriously disappear one casino at atime until they are just a fleetingmemory of spinning reels and flashinglights Gone but not forgotten Isthere a graveyard for our dearlydeparted friends

ndash Leigh H

Any time you see a slot machinedisappear from the floor from thecasinorsquos point of view that machine wasmisbehaving or better statedunderperforming

All machines Leigh need to showreasonable results or their replacement isinevitable A gaming machinersquosperformance is measured by two factorsthe amount of coins wagered daily (ldquocoininrdquo) and the amount collected daily bythe casino (ldquowinrdquo)

If a machinersquos performance falters everso slightly a slot manager could decide achange is needed in the slot mixmeaning the placement and positioningof machines on the casino floor

My guess here Leigh is that youmight also be inquiring about those 20th-century antique machines frommanufacturers like Mills and Jennings orsome of the later IGT or Bally machinesfrom the rsquo70s or rsquo80s

Their resting places have a variety ofpossibilities The first being as with any

slot machine they are usually sent to afacility that strips them for usable partsand sorts the rest for scrap

Also stored in the basement of manycasinos is that slot graveyard you speakof where they liveout their livescollecting dust

Some machinesmight go to a privatecollection butdepending on locallaw they may haveto be renderedinoperable Many aman cave has onesitting in the cornerto pilfer quartersfrom the ownerrsquosfriends

A collector likeyours truly wouldnever part with his1934 Mills StarldquoFirebirdrdquo QT nickelmachine as it paysfor the free Guinnessor PBR their choice offered when somesucker is yanking its handle

Then there are retail establishmentsspecific to the selling of older slotmachines in gambling towns like Renoand Las Vegas where selling gamblingequipment is legal Some of these storeshave a decent-sized collection on site

If you are a want-to-be buyer of aldquodearly departed friendrdquo it is importantto check state and local laws before youpull the trigger (handle) although

generally speaking antique slot machinesare legal in most states if they are over25 years old

You can also do an online search forldquoold slot machines for salerdquo or go to

eBay where aplethora of slots isalways for sale

Even thoughNevada may be thegambling capital ofthe United Statesthe slot machine wasactually bornelsewhere in SanFrancisco

The firstmechanical slotmachine the LibertyBell was invented in1895 by Charles Feya San Franciscomechanic Feyrsquosmachine housedthree spinning reelseach decorated withdiamonds spades

hearts and one cracked Liberty Bell perreel When the bells lined up theyproduced your biggest payoff 10 nickels

The original Liberty Bell used to beon display at the Liberty Belle Saloon ampRestaurant in Reno but since its closingin 2006 it is now exhibited at theNevada State Museum

Back in the rsquo40s and early rsquo50s thoseolder mechanical slots were chock full ofsprings and gears that were powered by aplayer pulling the handle which started

the reels spinning The problem withthese early machines was that they werelimited in the size of the jackpotsbecause they could only accept one coinwhich restricted the number of coinsthey could pay out

Once the electromechanical machineappeared it allowed multiple-coin playwhich included electrically poweredhoppers that could pay out much largerjackpots

ldquoIf you imagine the worst-casescenario and it happens youlived it twicerdquo says Michael J

Fox Do I need to spend my days

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

imagining something awful happeningto my husband Bob or to me A caraccident A heart attack A house fireIf God forbid any of these things wereto happen must I gothrough the agony ofthem before they evenoccur if in fact they everdo

NoAlthough Irsquove recently

written about my littlecat Jordy hersquos hadanother remarkableexperience in his shortlife

A few months ago Iwrote that when Jordy was a kitten hisback leg was destroyed Given nomedical care someone had left him tosuffer Bob and I donrsquot know the personwho did this to him nor how ithappened Thank God we found himand adopted him

After his leg was amputated he was ahappy kitten Now he slips slides fallsand bounces right back up purring thewhole time

But last week Bob and I found Jordycrying in pain unable to get up Tooearly in the morning to see our regularvet we took him to an emergency clinicAlthough the doctor was great she wasunable to help him

When I was a practicingpsychotherapist I learned that traumasparticularly deaths bring up olderdeaths with nearly the same intensity asif they had just happened Helplesslywatching Jordy cry I relived the last dayof the life of my cat Eddie

Therefore instead of imagining theworst-case scenario in the future andliving through it twice Irsquom reliving the

worst-case scenario of the past Two years ago when Bob brought

Eddiersquos body home from an emergencyclinic he gently placed him still warmin my arms I cradled him while Irocked him and sang to him for one lasttime

I am only hurting myself by relivingthat day again and again Only recently

have I allowed myself torelive the good times thefunny times like Eddiersquosfamous glare his eyeshalf shut in an intensestare looking foranything that had beenadded to the room ormoved an inch so that hecould pounce on it andsmash it to smithereens

I can choose what tothink And now I have a

choice with Jordy I can imagine theworst-case scenario or not

Jordyrsquos day turned out gloriously Ourregular vet quickly diagnosed theproblem as an injury to the hip wherethe leg had been amputated

That very afternoon with no painand no crying Jordy happily joined hisfamily as if nothing had ever happened

Jordy sleeps between Bobrsquos knees Bobdoesnrsquot move all night because heavenforbid he moves the cat That nightJordy slept soundly while Bob blissfullygroaned in discomfort

Jordy wasnrsquot dreaming about whateverbad thing might come his wayTwitching lightly he was probablydreaming about the chipmunk he lovesto watch from the window

Irsquoll always learn my most importantlessons from my cat

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Goblins and ghosts seem everywhereVampire bats soar through the airJack-o-lanterns with fiery stareLight the night with flickering glare

Children should be filled with fearBut that thought is never nearThey don clothes to match the seasonAnd a false facemdashfor what reasonSo they go on Trick-or-TreatFor all the candy they can eat

The Beauty in Nature

Clyde McMillan-Gamber

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Scientists Find Perks to Drinking Coffee

Coffee helps lots of people wake upevery morning but thatrsquos not the onlyrole it plays

Scientists have unlocked someinteresting health benefits associated withcaffeine consumption in these areas

Memory Researchers at JohnsHopkins University have determinedthat 200 mg of caffeine appears to aidmemory retention

The dose of 200 mg is apparently theoptimum amount producing better

effects than 100mg while 300mg produced nogreaterimprovement

By the way300 mg is theamountconsumed dailyby the averageAmericanmdashbetween two andfour cups

Liverdisease A studyconducted inSingapore foundthat coffeeconsumptionwas linked to a66 percentlower mortalityrisk in peoplesuffering fromliver cirrhosisand related

diseases like nonviral hepatitis

Suicide Researchers from the HarvardSchool of Public Health reviewing datafrom three large US studies foundadults drinking two to four cups of coffeea day were 50 percent less at risk ofsuicide than those who drank no coffee(or consumed decaf )

The scientists speculate that caffeinemay serve as a mild antidepressantboosting levels of dopamine andserotonin in the brain

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining

Blue jays gray squirrels and easternchipmunks are interesting towatch gathering and storing nuts

and seeds during September and Octoberin the woods and suburbs of southeasternPennsylvania as in much of NorthAmerica These creatures obviously havememories that enable them to findstashed food

Each species stores food for winter ina way different from the others Groupsof blue jays flash into pin oak trees withpatches of red or brown autumn foliageamong the green to pick acorns one at atime and fly away with them to stashthem in tree cavities and behind loosebark or poke them into loose soil

Each jay offers a beautiful contrast ofblue feathers among the colored oakleaves particularly on sunny days

During winter jays visit the placeswhere they stashed acorns They pull outthe acorns one at a time crack the shells

with their sturdy beaks and eat the meatinside

Gray squirrels are most obvious inSeptember and October when theyrummage noisily through trees and deadleaves on the ground for acorns walnutsand hickory nuts

Squirrels rustling through dry leavesmake one think of deer or bears in the

woods They stash nuts in tree cavitiesand bury them one at a time in theground During winter they visit theircaches to eat stored nuts

Only rodents have jaws strong enoughand teeth sharp enough to chew throughthe hard husks and shells of walnuts andhickory nuts Those foods belong almostexclusively to rodents

Eastern chipmunks which are a kindof ground squirrel scamper noisily overdead leaf carpets in the woods and thelawns of older suburbs in search of nutsand seeds for the winter They stuff thatfood into their cheeks and whisk it totheir underground burrows

There they push that food out of theircheeks with their front paws into astorage chamber and zip out to findmore They do that much of each dayevery day in fall

Chipmunks sleep in their snug densthrough winter waking up occasionallyto eat stored food and then sleepingagain Thus they spend the winter inrelative comfort and safety

Watch for these birds and mammalsgathering nuts this autumn They areentertaining
