5 ¢ENTS WORTH by Grant Nichols It’s A Matter Of Opinion...

Guest Columnist

“Nuclear Fallout” -by Bob Perry For the very fi rst time the Nuclear Op-tion has been exercised changing the rules in the Senate in respect to appointments to the judiciary. All out war will ensue since the Senate has become completely partisan with the party in the majority can approve any nominee the president selects. In effect, the Senate has become rela-tively the same as the House of Represent-atives thus reducing and possibly elimi-nating the voice of the minority party. As things stand, the Democrats have agreed to permit the advancement of the progres-sives and possibly to tyranny. President Obama has vowed to change the makeup of the judiciary and now he has the ability to accomplish this very thing. It is important to note that the very peo-ple who crafted and support the action the Senate democrats took, have in the past gone to lengths to warn against allowing the Nuclear Option to be used, not just threatened to be used. In 2005 Obama, when Senator from Il-linois, indicated the democracy would be threatened if the voice of the minority was eliminated and it would lead to unac-ceptable partisanship. Guess what folks, like usual, the demagogue once again has shown his stripes and created an air of un-known agenda by being unpatriotic. Vice President Joe Biden voiced his ob-jections against using the Nuclear Option and even went so far as to say “I pray to

God” democrats do not pursue a “naked power grab” using the Nuclear Option in majority. In 2008, the majority leader of the Sen-ate, Harry Reid, declared that using the Nuclear Option “Will ruin our country”. Well, Harry, your words are probably ac-curate and by invoking the Option this country may well be entering its fi nal chapter. My advice to Harry is that once the nominations are confi rmed for the D. C. Circuit Court of Appeals a reversal to the rules change is made. Note that the real reason the change was made is so Obama can stack the D.C. Court of Appeals to provide votes allowing the EPA and oth-er departments to possibly be immune to challenges. The 2014 elections have gained an add-ed reason the Democrats may well lose majority in the Senate and they are in-creasingly more deserving of same. As the confi dence in Congress continues to be reduced due to the partisan politics I will not be surprised if the safety of crimi-nal offi ce holders becomes compromised. The demagogues in Washington are a real problem, and hopefully the 2014 elec-tions are signifi cant enough to start setting things straight. Surely Thomas Jefferson is rolling over in his grave due to this change!

Students in Mrs. Johnson’s third grade and Mrs. Hillard’s fourth grade class-rooms at School Street Elementary School were the subjects for this week’s photos. Most were happy that school would be out on the following day for a weeklong Thanksgiving vacation. Beyond the regular curriculum, Mrs. Johnson’s students are engaged in a detailed explora-tion of Kansas as their part of the school-wide effort to make students aware of the industrial and cultural diversity within and among the various States……..This week begins our Christmas Magic spe-cial page intended to direct attention to local businesses.

Kennedy Jr., found in the December 5th, 2013 edition of Rolling Stone magazine, for those of our readers who like the intrigue of histor-ical accounts. Like no other article we’ve read, Robert Kennedy, Jr.’s portrayal of his uncle shows how our entrance into the Vietnam War turned on the life and death of a President. An excerpt from the fi rst paragraph of this article follows: “On No-vember 22nd, 1963, my uncle, President John F. Kennedy, went to Dallas intending to condemn as “nonsense” the right-wing notion that “peace is a sign of weakness.” He meant to argue that the best way to demonstrate American strength was not by using destructive weapons and threats but by being a nation that “practices what it preaches about equal rights and social justice,” striving toward peace instead of “aggressive ambitions.” Despite the Cold War rhetoric of his campaign, JFK’s great-est ambition as president was to break the militaristic ideology that has dominated our country since World War II. He told his close friend Ben Bradlee that he want-ed the epitaph “He kept the peace,” and said to another friend, William Walton, “I am almost a ‘peace at any price’ presi-dent.” Hugh Sidey, a journalist and friend, wrote that the governing aspect of JFK’s leadership was ‘a total revulsion’ of war.” Read more: http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/john-f-kennedys-vision-of-peace-20131120#ixzz2lmJ2GKCm > The power of the U.S. military establishment and internal agencies, along with their dis-respect for the orderliness of our own con-stitutional government at that time, gives us a clue as to the forces that coerce the direction of our peace loving nation today.

Stop Work To Look Up For A Photo



BUSINESS & PERSONAL FINANCESDon’t Let Cyber Grinches Ruin Your Holidays

-by Jason Alderman I’m usually in too much of a Thanks-giving food coma to hit the sales on Black Friday, but millions of other Americans somehow fi nd the energy. Last year, 89 million people took advantage of Black Friday sales (57 million of them online), while an estimated 247 million shopped throughout the four-day weekend, as stores increasingly have opened their doors on Thanksgiving itself. In addition, millions of bargain hunters spent another $2 billion on Cyber Mon-day, so it’s clear that online holiday shop-ping is here to stay. Unfortunately, cyber criminals have zeroed in on this trend and are redoubling their efforts to separate shoppers from their hard-earned cash. Whether you’re shopping online by computer, smartphone or tablet, here are some common cyber scams to watch out for and security precautions to take: Tips for buying gift cards: • Only buy from secure websites of trusted retailers (look for an “s” in the “https://” web address and a lock symbol). • At walk-in stores, only purchase cards from employees who have them locked up. Avoid cards at unattended display racks, since thieves can scan the card’s unique serial number; then, after you’ve loaded it with cash, drain its value with online purchases before the recipient has a chance to use it. • Never purchase deeply discounted cards or event tickets from online market-places like eBay or Craigslist – chances are good that the cards are counterfeit or were stolen. Most retailers offer holiday sales as a way to boost their year-end bottom line. If you’ve “liked” a product or store on Facebook or Twitter, or have signed up to receive their emails, you may well get genuine offers for steep discounts or last-minute sales. But beware of bogus offers from sites that mimic those of legitimate retailers. They could be: • Trying to harvest your credit card number and other personal information to make illegitimate charges to your account or open new accounts in your name. • Attempting to sell you counterfeit

or stolen goods. • Trying to gain access to your social media profi le to log into other accounts tied to it, or to post illegitimate offers pur-portedly endorsed by you to lure in your friends. Another common scam is to send an email claiming a courier is trying to de-liver a package or there’s a problem with your order. You’ll be told to click on a link to get details and will likely be asked to re-veal account or other personal information to verify. Unless you previously provided them your email address, this is probably bogus. A few additional holiday-related secu-rity tips: • When shopping online, avoid pop-up ads touting incredible deals. If you think it might be real, log into the retailer’s website yourself to see whether the deal is

posted. • Hackers create realistic-looking web addresses that, when clicked, take you to a bogus site that can infect your device with malware or install a Trojan Horse program to steal your personal informa-tion. To be safe, let your cursor hover over web addresses you didn’t type in yourself and look for misspelled or weird-looking sequences of characters. • Before completing an online order, visit the site’s “Contact Us” and “Terms and Conditions” pages for their phone number, mailing address, return policies, etc. Phony sites often either don’t have such pages or they’re fi lled with easy-to-spot errors. Don’t let the prospect of getting a great deal on Black Friday allow you to drop your guard against scammers who would love to fi ll your stocking with coal.

ON THE HEALTHY SIDEA New High-Tech Image

For Colonoscopies

(NAPSI)—There’s actually some good news for those in need of a colonoscopy. New technology is offering patients more comfort when undergoing the test. It also potentially enables medical profession-als to complete the exam in less time than when performed with existing equipment. Currently, there are over 12 million colonoscopies performed each year in the U.S. The demand is driven by the fact that colon cancer is the second-largest form of cancer and that early detection through screening offers a better chance of beating the disease. One of the biggest challenges with colonoscopies is “looping,” where the colonoscope overlaps and causes patient discomfort and slows down the procedure. New Technology ScopeGuide from Olympus is a new technology that assists physicians during a colonoscopy. It is designed to identify and mitigate loops, which can increase patient comfort and reduce procedure time. The new technology shows an accu-rate 3-D reconstruction of the position and confi guration of the endoscope position within the colon that is refreshed multiple times per second for real-time viewing. Physicians can now view the image provided by the device alongside the en-doscopic image when they use it in con-junction with a monitor with picture-in-picture functionality. As a result, they only have to view a single monitor. Less Time And More Comfort There is evidence that professionals in the fi eld have a positive response to the technology. For example, when asked about his experience using the device, Steven Lichtenstein, D.O., Director of the Division of Gastroenterology, Medi-cal Director, Endoscopy/GI Lab at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital, said that using it had decreased the time required for a colon-oscopy and that he now uses it for every colonoscopy he performs. Lichtenstein said, “The effi ciencies created by ScopeGuide include improved patient comfort and a more precise ana-tomical location for where your scope is at any point during the procedure.” ScopeGuide is an integral part of Evis Exera III, the Olympus endoscopy plat-form.

American Institute for Cancer Research Q:Do those elastic tubes and bands really work for strength training? A: Yes, elastic tubes and bands are now available for virtually all levels of strength training, and they’re inexpensive and easily stored. You need to use the right band or tube to match your strength level and the particular muscle group being exercised (chest presses, for example, need more resistance than the arm curls that exercise your upper arms). When working with an elastic tube or band, you secure it under your feet or around a heavy piece of furniture or a pole. Focus on squeezing the muscle in use when you encounter resistance as you pull on the tube/band. Stop and pause, keep-ing the muscle tight when you’ve completed the pulling motion, and then keep the muscle working as you release the weight slowly, rather than letting it spring back as you return to starting position. Just as when strength-training with free weights or sta-tionary machines, good posture and proper technique is important to work the muscle appropriately and to avoid injury. You can use many of the same exercises you may have learned with other forms of strength training, but if you haven’t received instruc-tion, it’s best to learn good technique by meeting with a certifi ed fi tness trainer at a local facility. If this isn’t possible, check out a recognized fi tness organization’s DVD or website. For example, the American Council on Exercise (ACE) offers a free sug-gested routine with elastic tubing (http://www.acefi tness.org/fi tfacts/fi tfacts_display.aspx?itemid=2659 ). You also can see how to use a resistance/stretch band in this video from AICR <http://preventcancer.aicr.org/site/News2?page=NewsArticle&id=21739&news_iv_ctrl=2303>

Advice On Student Loan Repayment (NAPSI)—Here are two bits of good news for recent and soon-to-be college graduates with student loans: 1. You probably have a six-month grace period after graduation before you have to start making payments. 2. While adding a new payment of any kind into your life can be daunting, the vast majority of Americans with student loans do successfully pay them off, due, in part, to the value of their college education. These student loan repayment tips can help you be among them: • Contact your servicer. Some students have more than one loan, so it’s best to con-tact each servicer to discuss your payment options. The servicer can also help identify alternatives if you’re experiencing diffi culty. • Pay every month, and pay extra when you can. Make payments every month. Op-tions to postpone payments typically mean you’ll pay more over the life of the loan, so tackle your payments now. Whenever you can, pay extra to reduce your interest costs and pay off faster. Put money from a raise or bonus toward your student loans. • Create a budget. Know how much is due every month and create a budget that’s in sync with the amount due. Get the big pic-ture when creating your budget. Put together a snapshot of all your fi nancial obligations, including your credit cards, car loan, student loans and rent. • Pay yourself. Build an emergency sav-ings fund of $500 to $1,000 to be prepared for car expenses, an emergency trip or life’s other unexpected expenses. • Sign up for auto-pay. Automatic pay-ments not only make sure you never miss a payment, but servicers such as Sallie Mae, the nation’s No. 1 fi nancial services company specializing in education, may reduce your interest rate if you pay by automatic debit. It’s peace of mind with a bonus. • Learn more. Go to www.SallieMae.com

Finding A Gift For The Whole Family

The new Wii U console comes with two great games starring Mario and Luigi, all at a suggested re-tail price of $299.99.

One of the most memorable moments at any holiday dinner is when a moist,delicious turkey is brought to the table. Everyone grabs their forks at the sightof a perfectly brown bird glistening with juicy flavor.

Make sure your holiday meal is a special one by following thesesimple tips for roasting the perfect turkey. For more recipes, visitwww.bertolli.com.

Thawing the Turkey� Thaw your turkey in the refrigerator for 24 hours per 5 pounds

in weight. For example, a 20 pound bird takes four days to thaw.Thaw it faster by covering with cold water in the sink and chang -ing the water every half hour per pound of turkey.

� Don’t unwrap a frozen turkey before thawing.

� Refrigerate the turkey as soon as it has thawed or cook itimmediately.

� For best eating quality, do not refreeze uncooked turkey.

Roasting the Bird� Buy a turkey with a pop-up timer, which ensures proper cooking

time.

� Baste the turkey with Bertolli Extra Light Olive Oil.

� Place turkey breast-side-up on a rack in a shallow roasting pan.Cook in an oven preheated to 325°F.

� For an unstuffed turkey, place a stalk or two of celery, season -ings, a cut-up onion and a handful of parsley in the cavity tokeep it moist.

� Lay a “tent” of foil loosely over the turkey to prevent over-browning.

� During the last half hour of cooking, remove the foil and baste.

� The turkey is done when themeat thermometer is 180°Fand the stuffing is 165°F. If you don’t have a meatthermometer, look for the redstem to go up on the pop-uptimer, press a thumb andforefinger into the thick partof the drumstick to see if itfeels soft or wiggle a drum -stick to see if it moves easily.

� Never partially cook a turkey.Always cook it completelyonce started.

� For easier carving, let theturkey stand at room temper -ature for at least 20 minutes.

Planning for LeftoversSave all of the delicious leftoverturkey in a sealable containerand store it in the refrigerator.There are many great recipesthat feature turkey, such as stir-fry with vegetables, turkeywraps, burritos, turkey hash,turkey loaf and, of course, good,old-fashioned turkey sandwiches.

FAMILY FEATURES

Football season is here with high school, college and NFL games underway. That meansfans nationwide are preparing to throw the most epic tailgates of the season. According toa recent Bank of America survey, which asked consumers about their tailgating plans forthis football season, more than three-fourths of respondents (77 percent) plan to host at

least one tailgate party. Throwing a big, tasty and impressive tailgate can be one way for fans tosupport their favorite teams. However, the costs of hosting a tailgate can add up. To make sureyour fandom doesn’t break the bank, TV host and author Adam Richman says to remember thatan expensive tailgate doesn’t necessarily mean a better one.

“The bottom line is that tailgating costs money, whether it’s the gas to get to the stadium, thefood, the souvenirs and even the tickets you buy,” said Richman. “As somebody who loves tail -gating and loves fans, one of the biggest assets that I feel that fans have at their disposal is cashrewards cards. There’s no reason that an expensive tailgate should diminish your team spirit.”

In addition to shopping smart when hosting a tailgate or football party, there are other ways tosupport your favorite teams this season while not breaking the bank. Some of these tips include:

Buy in bulkMore than four out of 10 survey respondents(44 percent) said they typically spend $90 ormore when hosting a tailgate. Next to askingguests to bring items, buying in bulk was thesecond most cited method used to offset thecost of a tailgate — and for good reason.Shopping at discount stores can help you payless for essential tailgate items like hambur -gers and hotdogs. And don’t worry aboutbuying a large quantity to get a good deal.Freeze what you don’t need and use it for thenext pre-game party.

Don’t be afraidto repurpose When looking to purchase tailgate supplies,consider investing in supplies that can dodouble duty so you can get more out of whatyou buy or bring with you to the game. Forinstance, most everyone knows that tin foilkeeps food warm. But you should alsoconsider lining your grill with it. This canhelp expedite the disposal of used charcoal.Similarly, trash bags are basic necessities tokeep the tailgating site clean. If you use aplastic bag to line a case of drinks, fill thecase with ice for an impromptu cooler tomake sure your beverages are the mostrefreshing temperature.

Get cash backFor all the purchases that go into the ultimatetailgate, you want to make sure to considerhow you will pay for what you need. Ninety-three percent of survey respondents said foodor beverages are the biggest expenses whenhosting a tailgate or in-home football party.With such important items, don’t forget totake advantage of credit cards that offerrewards for those purchases. For example,some cards, such as the BankAmericard CashRewards credit card, let you earn more cashback where you spend the most money, forexample getting 2 percent cash back atgrocery stores on up to $1,500 in combinedgrocery store and gas purchases quarterly.

Know the rulesWhen you’re planning on tailgating at thestadium before seeing your team play, do theresearch to learn the tailgating rules of thevenue. Rules can vary depending on the wherethe game is hosted, and you don’t want to puta damper on game-day fun because you didn’ttake the time to read through the stadium’swebsite. According to the survey, over two-thirds of respondents (68 percent) plan to tail -gate at their team’s stadium for at least onegame this football season. Respecting therules of the game venue will help keep theday’s activities moving smoothly and ensureeveryone has a great time.

Stretch the dollarat the pumpNearly half of those surveyed (48 percent)anticipate driving more than 50 miles tosupport their teams this season. With all thatdriving, the amount you spend on gas duringfootball season can sneak up on you. Thereare a couple ways to help lower your spend -ing on gas. First, consider carpooling to andfrom games, tailgates or football parties. Ifyou’re the driver, your passengers can pitchin to help cover gas and other costs. And ifyou’re the passenger, you will save throughlower fuel, parking and other vehicleexpenses, just don’t forget to offer to helpout the driver. Secondly, if you have a creditcard that pro vides cash back rewards, con -sider using it to make gas purchases even if you are part of a carpool. With theBankAmericard Cash Rewards credit cardyou will automatically earn 3 percent cashback on gas on up to $1,500 in combinedgrocery store and gas purchases quarterly.Just ask your carpool mates to pay you theirshare in cash.

Time- And Money-Saving Grocery Tips (NAPSI)—If you are like most Americans, you not only want to save money at the grocery store, but you want to save time, too. In fact, in a re-cent survey conducted by Supermar-ketGuru.com, 25 percent of respond-ents said they have resorted to grocery shopping online just to save time. How can you be sure to get the best value in the shortest time possible? Here are a few hints from Phil Lempert, the Su-permarket Guru, that can help: • First, plan the timing of your shop-ping trip carefully. The supermarket’s busiest time is between 4 p.m. and 5 p.m., so avoid the supermarket “rush hour.” • Use all your shopping resources. Check the store’s circulars and use the latest technology to help enhance your trip. For example, ReadySetEat.com not only lets you plan your meals and ingredients ahead of time, it instantly shares what items are on sale at a re-tailer near you. • Discounts are often worth the time spent seeking them. According to a Red Plum survey of shoppers, 80 percent of consumers surveyed spent up to three hours each week looking for coupons, deals and savings from all sources and 81 percent said they saved up to $50 each week, or $2,600 a year. • Frozen single-serve meals can be cost effective. Frozen meals such as Healthy Choice can be a great way for those on a budget to eat more health-fully and waste less food due to portion control. • Private brands can be valuable. With their quality generally compara-ble to leading brands, private brands are some of the best and most underused fi nds in the supermarket. Savings vary,

but the best deals in terms of price and quality include breakfast cereals, jams, cookies, pasta, sauces, dairy products, paper goods, and snacks like H.K. An-derson Pretzels and Kangaroo Baked Snacks. • Consider frozen. When produce is not in season, you can head to the fro-zen and canned aisles. Frozen fruits and veggies are preserved at their peak of nutritional value, and in season. For ex-ample, Hunt’s tomatoes go from farm to can within 24 hours to lock in the fresh taste. • Don’t assume the bigger package is the better deal. Consider the unit price

on the shelf tag and buy what goes on sale. Pricing surveys have shown that some name-brand merchandise costs less at major grocery chains than at big warehouse stores. • Finally, avoid waste. The Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that more than 40 percent of the food that Americans buy goes to waste. To avoid waste, follow these simple tips: • To help reduce your personal waste, plan meals ahead of time, check expiration dates at the store and opt for portion-controlled frozen foods. Sin-gle-serve and family-size meals, such as Marie Callender’s or Bertolli frozen meals, are great examples of portion-controlled meals for yourself or your whole family. • Also, remember to store leftovers properly. Refrigerate below 40° F with-in two hours or one hour during hot weather (90° F and above). Place un-used raw vegetables in a sealable plastic bag and squeeze out excess air. For un-used canned ingredients, remove from the original can, put them in a sealable container and cover tightly to maintain optimal fl avor. Fresh vegetables should be blanched quickly in boiling water, drained and then placed in a bag. Poul-try and meats can be frozen in their original wrappers, but then placed in a freezer bag. Keep these tips in mind for your next grocery shopping trip, and you may fi nd that you can come home with more money in your pocket and more time to spend with your family.

Don’t Get Backed Up: Tips To Stay Clog-Free This Season (NAPSI)—Ah, the holidays! They’re a time fi lled with family, friends, large parties and the inevitable holiday en-tertaining stress. While more guests and big holiday meals can put a serious strain on a home’s plumbing system, a plumbing emergency should be the last thing you need to worry about dur-ing a festive gathering. Did you know that the day after Thanksgiving is the single busiest day of the year for Roto-Rooter’s residential plumbers? North America’s No. 1 plumbing repair and drain service company sees, on aver-age, a 47 percent increase in incoming calls on that day compared to an aver-age Friday. This holiday season, avoid embar-rassing overfl ow disasters and fl ushing money down the drain by following these tips to help keep your bathroom pipes fl owing properly and freely. 1. Don’t be a victim of the linger-ing fl ush: Do you hear water running in your toilet tank for an extended time after a fl ush? If so, then your toilet may be leaking and wasting up to 200 gal-lons of water daily! Stop jiggling the handle and pick up the phone for a pro-fessional, like your local Roto-Rooter plumber. 2. The secret’s in the TP: Use the appropriate amount of toilet paper. Charmin’s re-engineered design allows for easier breakdown of toilet tissue, giving your bathroom pipes a break so you can truly enjoy the go.

3. Don’t plunge your life away: If a toilet requires plunging on a regular ba-sis, this could mean there is an obstruc-tion down the drainpipe. It may even be a symptom of a bigger problem farther down the sewer line. Have someone take a look. 4. Toilets do not get better with age: If your toilet was made before 1994, it is probably costing you a fortune in wa-ter and it’s time for an upgrade. Newer toilets use only 1.6 gallons per fl ush and the newest low-fl ow designs pro-vide the same amount of fl ushing power as old 3.5-gallon models. An effi cient,

new toilet will conserve water and save you money month after month. 5. Don’t let the outside in: Be sure to disconnect outside water hoses. If left connected, water in the hoses can freeze and expand, causing faucets and connecting pipes inside your home to freeze and break. If you are experiencing any of the problems listed above, please visit www.RotoRooter.com or call (800) ROTO-911 [(800) 768-6911].

Encouraging Parents To Do More With Less (NAPSI)—A growing number of par-ents are creating their own approaches to parenthood- approaches that are authentic, simple, healthy. Most importantly, they’re approaches that work for their own fami-lies. To inspire families to do more with less, a well-known brand of children’s medi-cine is launching the “Say Yes to Less” campaign to benefi t Make-A-Wish®. The Little Remedies® brand, marketed by Medtech Products, Inc., is asking con-sumers to log on to www.SayYes2Less.com to take a 30-day pledge to “Say Yes to Less” and eliminate the things their chil-dren don’t need. Instead, they’re encour-aged to focus on the small things that can make a big difference in their children’s lives. For example, families can pledge that they will do things such as eat less sugar or create less waste. In return, Little Rem-edies® will donate $1 to Make-A-Wish® for each of the fi rst 100,000 people who take the pledge to “Say Yes to Less.” New Teammates To help draw attention to the campaign, Little Remedies® has teamed up with ac-

tresses and celebrity moms Tia Mowry-Hardrict and Tamera Mowry-Housley to have them serve as the offi cial spokesper-sons for the pledge. Tia and Tamera are passionate about taking a wholesome approach to raising their kids. They will appear in a series of videos featuring families that personify the Little Remedies® philosophy, “Eve-rything They Need, Nothing They Don’t.” These families have committed to elimi-nating wastefulness from their lives. To encourage consumers to follow through on their “Say Yes to Less” pledge, the pledge website, www.SayYes2Less.com , was created for parents to “check in” each day for 30 days to confi rm that they are following through with their pledges. After a key number of check-ins, con-sumers will be rewarded for their efforts with badges that are seen on their pledge page and high-value coupons for Lit-tle Remedies® products. Additionally, a grand-prize winner will be selected, who will receive a $2,500 college education account to help create a positive future for his or her child.

Created By a Parent The Little Remedies® line of children’s over-the-counter health care products was created by a father and pharmacist who grew tired of searching for products for his children that were effective, but also made with ingredients he could feel good about-that means no artifi cial fl avors, arti-fi cial colors, alcohol, saccharin or dyes. For more information on Little Rem-edies® and the full line of products, visit www.LittleRemedies.com. To learn more about Make-A-Wish®, visit: www.wish.org

The first step should be gathering all involvedfamily members together, including the personneeding care. It’s important to take the time,while you have it, to develop a strategy for howthings should be handled when a loved one even -tually needs care.

Create a checklist of topics to discuss by visit -ing www.longtermcare.gov. Click on the “LTCPathfinder” link, answer simple questions andthis valuable tool will generate a list of topics toconsider when planning for care. It is also a greatresource for finding national and local resources.

Where can you receive care?Most people prefer to stay in their home orapartment for as long as possible. If this is yourplan, it is important to step back and consider if modifications would allow you to remain athome longer. The goal of home modifications is to maximize your ability to safely care foryourself. Examples of home modificationsinclude roll-in showers, stair lifts and grab bars.These kinds of modifications can be done wellbefore they are needed and may help to avoid ordelay the need for long-term care by helping to

avoid a fall. For things you can no longer do foryourself, there are a number of other neededservices available in most communities.

Should care outside the home becomenecessary, several types of housing come withsupport services for people who cannot fully takecare of themselves due to aging and/or disability.Public housing is available for low-to-moderateincome elderly and persons with disabilities.Assisted Living or “board and care” homes aregroup living settings that offer housing inaddition to assistance with ADLs and otherservices, such as meals. Generally, they do notprovide medical care. Continuing CareRetirement Communities provide a range ofhousing options, including independent livingunits, assisted living and nursing homes, all onthe same campus. Nursing facilities, or nursinghomes, are the most service-intensive housingoption, providing skilled nurs ing services andtherapies as needed.

Who pays for care?Long-term care is more expensive than mostpeople realize. Many people believe wrongly

FAMILY FEATURES

Holidays are a time for

families to gather together

for celebrating, reminis -

cing and sharing the joys of the

season. It’s also a time when out-of-

town family members may suddenly

be confronted with the declining

health of a loved one.

Those taking care of aging family

members are often unable to fully

convey to those living far away the

true needs of an elderly parent. So,

these times of gathering together are

a good time to start the conversation

of how to handle long-term health

care needs.

Gather Together

What resources are available?The most common source of long-term care helpis often unpaid family members. However, theymay not always be available to provide the care adeclining elderly loved one needs. Look for care -giving services in your area, including in-homecare providers and elder daycare centers. Find outabout home delivered meals and other servicesoffered in your community.

It’s also important to consult an attorney to makesure your loved one has appointed one or moreindividuals to make health care and finan cial deci -sions for them. An attorney can also prepare anadvance care directive, which is a set of writteninstructions detailing what medical care your lovedone wishes to receive.

About 70 percent of people turning 65 can expectto need some kind of medical or personal careservices for months or years as they age. Planningfor the care that a loved one may need one day isan important gift family members can give eachother during the holiday season. The conversationscan be difficult but are an impor tant step to gain -ing valuable time to research options, prepare forthe future and make the best decisions possible.

the Medicare, Medicaid, medical insurance ordisability insurance they currently have willpay for all or much of their long-term care. In general, health insurance covers only verylimited and specific types of long-term care.Disability policies don’t cover any at all. Infact, the cost of care is usually paid for out ofpersonal savings and income.

For those who qualify, long-term care insur -ance is available to cover long-term servicesand sup ports. Medicare only covers medicallynecessary care and focuses on medical acutecare, such as doctor visits, drugs and hospitalstays. If very specific conditions are met,Medicare will help pay for all or a portion of ashort stay in a skilled nursing facility, hospicecare or home health care. Medicaid helpspeople with low income and assets pay forsome or all of their health care bills. It coversmedical care, long-term care services in nursinghomes, and long-term care services provided at home.
